i want a music related career but i can't figure out what to do without everyone just saying LOL U JUST WANNA BE A ROCK STAR like no I just love music and don't really have a passion for anything else. Any ideas of music related careers to pursue?
production sounds pretty cool. there are many producers who have gone on to be successful music acts.
only thing with producing is you don't really get much credit if you're doing it for a big name. today's social media definitely helps give producers more of a face, but now there are more people shitting out beats on soundcloud and posting them on twitter and facebook than ever, so there's that.

music tech? see if you can help out in a studio and get someone to teach you the ropes
or go to school, there's actually a lot you can do with a music major
Sound designers/audio technicians are always in demand for theatres (musicals and stage plays, bands as well)

Make sure you work on your soft skills as well. Learn how to network. Be everybody's friend. Become the teachers pet. Don't be a pretentious douche, you will always have more to learn. Good luck, friend.

If you want to go into anything non-classical: Audio engineer is a possibility, Roadie maybe.
Other than that it's just dependent on your popularity, if you want to be a musician yourself.
The other option is to go to a music university and become a professional musician for orchestras.
From your picture and your "rock star" thing, I assume you just want to be a guitarist in a popular band and get all the grills while earning money.
Everybody that plays the guitar wants that.
Many people play the guitar.
Get over it.
