Question:
What is career is best for me?
I can sit all day and visualize art and literally sketch things in my head and see them, but I can't draw. I mean I really can't draw. Should I just give up on art, I mean I can design things on the computer, but just simple things and using drawings people have already created, I can't draw what I see..its confusing..please Help! thanks.

I suggest to consider going to school to be a draftsman or an architect (draftsman's degrees are shorter in terms of years). These days, draftsman use AutoCAD, a computer program to draw up things.
Of course, all of this is subjective to what exactly you can visualize. If you are just speaking about design, as in clothing or houses, even gardens, you can go to school to learn how to draw these things in a decent way (via fashion school or some such college or trade school) and other people can draw them up in CAD for you, or you can learn how to do both.
Otherwise, really read up on how to draw. It's a learned ability no matter what anyone says. It just takes time, research and lots of practice. It's really satisfying to see something you envisioned come to life by way of your own skill. Some people just catch on quicker than others and can understand the material better than others, which is why many people believe that someone is just "born an artist". It takes a while and several different ways of learning sometimes for certain things to just "click."
Otherwise, without knowing exactly what you visualize, I cannot really recommend anything else. I don't know what it is that you see in your mind. There's so many things you could be designing that it's hard to suggest one thing. CAD covers MANY areas though and it's a computer program that makes designing a cinch.
