Well I want to be an Imagineer for disneyland but you need to know Engineering get your masters in it. And you are not working 100 % of the time when a ride or attraction is done you get laid off until they need you again if they ever need you again.
And it is hard to do.
Maybe an artist or writer but I'm really confused right not and have no idea which I'm good at if I'm good at all.

Relax, you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do. Try different things (especially if they appear challenging and are something you have some interest in). As long as you have a good attitude and the willlpower to stick with something untill you have enough money to get training or start an apprentiship in what you really want to do you'll eventally get yourself into a position to do whatever you want. I'm 26 and have changed my job/career about 7 times now. A few years ago I read that the average american changes careers about 3 times in their lifetime.
I've been a networking contractor, worked in orchard maintenence (picking and culling apples), recycling coordinater (sorting carbon paper from pulpable paper), pest control specialist (counting moth larvae and placing lures to kill adult moths), computer hardware & software repair technitian (fix computer problems), car autiobody assistant (sanding cars so they can be painted), and I'm currently an apprentice boilermaker (crawling into and then repairing broken steam parts of pulp mills and oil refineries). I'm planning to go into real-estate in a few years. During most of those jobs I was either training myself in computer skills or going to school (taking courses lin sections as I could afford them). So far a job in trades seems the best. Always something new, great pay, as much time off as you want, and more work than there are workers to man them.

The trick is to have a good time at whatever you're doing and jump at any opportunity to do something better when it comes your way. If a job is getting stale look for another in your spare time.

I don't even think about my age, when you're young at heart it's easier to have fun.

I do not plan on going thru 7 careers that is too many.
Right now once I finnaly get my license (lazyness) I need to figure out over the corse of my Senior year. Weather to go to 2 year College and that is all or go to 4 year.
That I'm really confused on.

To each his own. After working in trades I could never sit at a desk for years with the same people around me every day doing the same stuff over and over while collecting a salary. Then again there's probably alot more people who would hate being in a red hot stinky metal tank with 5 other guys while being showered in welding and grinding sparks for hours at a time covered head to toe in black liquor dust. I always have fun at it tho.

Heh, I don't have a licence either - it's not as necessary as most people think.

Um it is in America and especially in California. All parents put a ton of pressure to get thier kids to drive.

That's a big city, cheap public mass transportation can take you anywhere quickly. Here in BC I spend most of my time in small bush towns. It's usually 1/2 hour walk to anything except small convenience stores unless I can get a ride. Busses come about once every 45 mins if I'm in a larger one. I try to walk at least 30 mins every day reguardless. It's how I stay healthy.
