Make enough money that enables me to defray the expenses of my own needs

I think, first I should find a career, I am happy with. Of course, I know, it’s not something, you decide in the twinkling of an eye (maybe finally it’s not even you, who decides), but I want to be getting closer and closer. So this entry of mine belongs here too: http://www.43things.com/entries/view/2265763

Anyways, till I am in college, I don’t want complete independence, but I’d like to earn enough to be able to satisfy my basic needs (so I will shave my head only if I don’t experience progression in this aspect of the problem by next year :)).
