future

I was talking with one of our family friends and he gave some some very good advice: poor people cannot help other poor people; the worst thing about being poor is not having options; I need money to do what I want to help others. So, what am I going to do in my future so that I can help others? That's all that I really want to do. I just want to help other people feel better, act better, see others better. How do I do that?
