Hello, Lutho !
It's wonderful that you are exploring employment and being well informed may help guide you as you gather information about the ins and outs of employment.
The courses you've mentioned are wonderful, but classes do not qualify you for a job. If you are in Secondary School right now, the first step would be to graduate and think about college. The basic things that qualify people for jobs, careers or work are a college degree, certifications and experience doing the type of work you want to do. Skills like strong written, verbal and presentational skills, computer skills, the ability to follow directions and being organized are also important. Developed ability to express detail is also helpful. So first, no one can tell you what job "you can get" based on classes you've taken. Secondly, jobs are not pulled out of thin air, one must be interested in and qualified for specific work.
Someone who doesn't know you or is not able to interview you cannot tell you what job you can get. Many people who haven't worked before look for work in the food service or retail sector. You will need to be sure that you know how to do the work, however.
Look at the subjects of your classes and think about which one you like the best. You'd be able to use computer skills at most jobs. The process is to finish Secondary School, attend University focused on one subject to Major in for the specific career you want, obtain your college degree and experience and any certifications that would be needed for your specific field of work. We don't get jobs because we wonder about it, we get them because we are qualified.
In the meantime, since you've asked this question, do some volunteer work to become familiar with the process of what it's like to work. Think of some type of work you love to do and offer your volunteer services to a venue connected to that. Volunteering is a good way for you to discover your niche as only you can.
Keep exploring and when you discover the field of work you want to be in, that's when you'll know exactly what you'll need to do. Best wishes in your discoveries !

Thank you for your question. I am glad to know that you have a wide range of interest.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Do you have interest to be an accountant, engineer, banker, escort guide, archaeologist, curator, museum manager, etc. You can find out more careers related to your interests online.
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hi Lutho,
Your matric subjects don't determine your future life and career. You need to figure out what you are good at and what kind of job you would enjoy.
If you want to go to university you need to look up admission requirements for degrees you might be interested in. You need a certain number of "points" plus sometimes additional requirements. Since your are in Gqeberha, I left some links for Nelson Mandela University below. You can also meet with admissions officers at Nelson Mandela University. You can find similar information for other universities.
Other option for studies and training in different fields include:
PE TVET College: https://www.pecollege.edu.za/
Industries Education and Training Institute: https://ieti.co.za/
Eastcape Training Centre: https://www.etc.org.za/training-centre/
Varsity College: https://www.varsitycollege.co.za/campuses/nelson-mandela-bay
CTU Training Solutions: https://www.ctutraining.ac.za/
Since you took tourism and history and have computer skills, a career in hospitality might actually be very suitable for you. There are many different pathways: you can study hospitality in university, you can learn culinary arts at a college or hotel school or you can start as a server in a restaurant or in a hotel and work your way up.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
