A social worker?

Math and Finance, Computer science or Engineering (mechanical, electrical, computer, or nuclear preferably) are 5x better as you can transition into other ventures in life and/or later on do something completely different without it affecting you as much. You also aren't beholden to the company you're working for or the government and can pretty much go to a different country and still make a lot of money. Becoming something like a social worker ensures you in having little upward mobility in life.

You're 17, so think it through before really deciding.

Moshe didn't prove me wrong, I backed up my claim with numbers and I could bring more numbers on different demographics such as millennial's who've dated interracially or would do so that show it's acceptance is still at a high and with the birth of more interracial babies makes the active fight against them probably a waste of time

Biracial people are beginning to classify themselves as "non-Black".

The data I posted showed that while Blacks don't mind interracial dating, they aren't interracially dating as much as the media would have you believe. I think it was around 10% of Black college educated men date interracially, and population wise, around 20% of Blacks date/marry interracially. You obviously didn't bother to read the links and chose to stick to your own world-view.

I'm not interested in taking a profession just because it'll make me money while I'm miserable.
I know a few social workers and people who have graduated with the means to become one and taken a different career path and it interests me, I don't believe I'll be miserable doing it though that is a possibility, and I think that unlike those careers you listed it measures up with my ability, I don't have the math skill for those.
Also I'm 18 though that's not much difference.

@Pifferry

Math only becomes a "skill" just like any other so as long as you work at it. If you put as much time studying math as you do arguing online, you wouldn't think yourself so unskilled.

When I was 17, I had only Algebra II under my belt. Instead of taking courses, I decided to devote my time and energy towards self-study eventually testing out of Calculus I at my college (they allowed me to take Calc.II instead). You can choose to envelope yourself in a "perception" of a drawback or choose to give it a good try and study to see whether you are good or not.

I'm trying in the near future. It's not much but I want to start my own gaming company employing mostly black designers/programmers and creating games with non stereotyped black protagonist. I also want to write comic book/graphic novels of black heroes.

I don't know, I feel like seeing blacks, even if they are fictional, in a positive light will boost the confidence of self esteem of the black youth and steer them to explore programming and designing fields

There are a million of these. You need to read my column.

Actually I've used statistics on the amount of people who "date out" to refute black woman bashing before.
And the only point I was trying to make was on the mentality people had towards it not the amount of people in one so no once again.

I'm talking about making black heroes on par with Batman, Captain America, etc. I don't want a little known, indie hero. I want him/her to have movies, tv shows, toy lines, costumes, etc.
