I don’t know what I want to do with my life

Hello, I’m a 16 year old male who is currently going into senior year. As the title says I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I have an ok gpa (3.7) and not many things that will get me into any good collages. My entire family is full of doctors, my dad is a plastic surgeon, mom does medicine, and brother is currently studying to be a trauma surgeon. I have considered going into premed and it is currently my plan A. The only thing is, I don’t find it interesting, I don’t want to spend the best years of my life with my nose in a book, and honestly the only reason I would become a doctor is for the money. Growing up I have always loved the idea of making money, the second I was able to get a job I did and I have had multiple jobs at one point, and even before that I was shoveling driveways, cutting lawns, doing lemonade stands etc. I just hate how I have to make a decision on what I want to do for the rest of my life at only 16. I have also thought about going into finance but I don’t know what I would study. Also there is the pressure of my family not respecting me or thinking I’m a disappointment for not becoming a doctor. Again, I don’t know what I should do because I need to figure this out quickly, and I don’t want to have to take a gap year or go into collage undecided. Thank you!
