You'll know your in the right field of study by reflecting on your learnings. Is it growing you? Is it inspiring you? Can you see yourself doing this in 5 years from now? Is their something you would like to see different in the field of study as you discover more? This can be an indicator of becoming a change maker to something your passionate about.

Hi Kaidence - I always recommend studying something you are passionate about, even if it doesn't lead directly to your ultimate goal. Let me share a story about my daughter. She initially chose a field her teachers said she was good at, but it didn't excite her. Then, a college tutor noticed she mentioned citizenship (which includes society and law) as her favorite subject and suggested she consider forensics. She hadn't thought about it before, but she loved detective stories! Now, she's thriving in a course she enjoys, gaining skills in physics, chemistry, and biology, which opens up many opportunities for her future.

If you're interested in child or adolescent psychology, music/art therapy, sociology, speech and language, childhood studies, nursing/occupational therapy, or outdoor leisure, these could be exciting paths for you. Consider exploring paid or volunteer work in nurseries, youth centers, pediatric settings, or sports clubs. These experiences can be valuable and rewarding.
