Rebecca’s Answer
Thank you for your question. Many students have similar questions. Firstly, you need to think about what careers you have interest.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Think about all your interests , e.g. your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you like maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc?
If you have interest in music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music producer, music composer, etc.
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 counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant courses in colleges
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hi Perla
This was also me when I was younger!
For me trying different jobs, does not matter if you're super young or just working for a weekend but it might give you a better idea of how an specific interest might look like professionally and then you can decide which one looks more like the life you envision for yourself.

You can start by making a list of what career you’re interested in. After evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Base on your analysis you can determine what career fits you best.
Find people who do the things that you may be interested in and talk to them. Ask for ten minutes of their time to find out what their job is really like. If you don’t know anyone who does what you’re interested in, ask a teacher, relative, or friend if they know someone you could talk to.

Hi Perla.
First, be brilliant at the basics! Become a great communicator by working on your written and verbal communication skills. Know basic data analytics and reporting techniques. Both will help your career trajectory, whatever field you choose.
Second, learn about what kinds of jobs roll up under each of your interests and understand what the work entails. There may be job tasks or responsibilities that you really like or don't like. Such an analysis may help narrow your scope.
Third, internships and work-study programs are great avenues for learning, not only about different fields, but also about yourself and your preferences. I recommend pursuing these opportunities to get a taste for various career options.
Finally, talk to as many people as possible about what they do and ask about the pros and cons of their work. Find out what courses of study they pursued and what they would recommend you do to prepare yourself for similar jobs.
I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck!

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
There are so many interesting avenues to explore, I understand! I would suggest taking courses on the things that interest you, that is a great start to see which topic brings you the most joy, or the best path for your goals. I would also recommend networking to find people in the fields that interest you. Many professionals would love to answer questions and even allow you to job-shadow so you can really see the job requirements on a day-to day basis.

Hi Perla-
Here's one option.
Write one interest and 3-4 careers related to that interest. For example: Art - art teacher, graphic designer, tattoo artist, museum curator.
Next, do the same for your other interests (ex. dance, soccer, medicine).
From these careers - and with research, you can narrow down these options.
Or you may discover a common thread (art teacher, choreographer, CPR instructor = educator)
I hope this helps. Good luck!

- They key word is, "start". You just have to try out different areas of work that is related to the future career you are considering. If you don't like it, you can always move on to something else. Research what kind of specific are related to the degree you'll be obtaining then apply to jobs related to that field.
- Learn as much as you can about each interests. Ask people who are professionals in those fields if you can interview them. Find out the good things and the bad things about their jobs. Be honest with yourself and your strengths and weaknesses so you can choose a career in which you will be successful. For example, I happen to love writing and public speaking, (and I am good at it), so my job works for me because I have to do a lot of communication.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
Choosing a career when you have many interests can feel overwhelming. But it can be a strength if you know how to navigate it. Group your similar interests into and skills together. Identify if certain careers appear across different interests. Ask yourself, do you want stability or flexibility? Will you be working and attending school? Then you want flexibility. Do you want to work with people, data, hands-on task or independent projects? If you want to work in the medical field you can volunteer at the hospital to see what the environment is like. Other companies have volunteer options as well this is just one example. You can combine your interests to find your perfect job. For example, someone who loves art and science can be a medical illustrator. Someone that has interest in photography and animals can be a photographer for animal shelters. Your first career doesn't have to be forever. Your goal is to just start and evolve as you learn more about yourself and the world around you.

As a teenager and student I felt the same way, so many options, how do I decide? I tried a few different jobs before deciding on a direction. I learned that just because I like doing something socially or personally, I didn't want to do that as a career. My advice it so push yourself, challenge yourself, don't let fear determine your future. Failing is just part of the process.

"Think about your top 3 interests: those that peak your curiousity and that you enjoy thinking about, reading about, or just doing. Go to your school library, or online and research those top 3 career interests at The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at:
https://www.bls.gov/ors/factsheet/orsprofiles.htm
Use the search area to find out more about those fields. Many people wind up in one field while working, and may switch to other jobs or interests during the course of their career. Also ask your school guidance counselor if there are any vocational tests you can take to help you narrow down your future career goals."

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
Start by identifying common themes among your interests—are they creative, analytical, people-oriented, or technical? These patterns can help guide you toward fields that align with multiple aspects of your personality.
Next, consider your values and what you want out of a career. Is financial stability, creative freedom, social impact, or work-life balance most important to you? Reflecting on these factors can narrow your focus.
Experimentation is key—try internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities in different fields to gain hands-on experience. You may also find value in informational interviews with professionals in areas you’re curious about. They can provide insights into daily responsibilities and help you envision yourself in that role.
Lastly, remember that your career doesn’t have to be set in stone. It’s okay to pivot as you grow and learn more about yourself. Focusing on building transferable skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and adaptability, will give you the flexibility to explore different paths throughout your life.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
It's ok to try different things. I went from wanting to be a writer to a therapist but am a Registered Nurse now. I worked at a farm stand, a coffee shop, a psychiatric hospital after college before landing in my current career. If you have many interests, as I did, try to find a job that has lots of flexibility. That way you can move around as different things inspire you. For me, I noticed that if I wanted to become a therapist, I had to choose my focus, and it felt narrow and somewhat confining. But Nurses can do anything, and now I work from home and have incredible work-life balance doing meaningful work that I love. Give yourself patience and love to try something and be brave to change course if you find it does not inspire you. Volunteering is a great way to try new things.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
- Great questions, I would advise going with "what you would LOVE" to do on a daily basis then from there take it through a matrix with your list of values and what is important to you as a person. Could take it a step further and make a Pros vs Cons list as well.
- Start researching jobs aligned with things you are passionate about. Ask questions and interview people. I ruled out so many careers simply by asking people what their day to day was like, what kind of work they got to do, and how they enjoyed the work they did.
- Narrow down your top choices to either two or three roles and then start researching on Google or reaching out to folks on LinkedIn to see if they are willing to chat or have an informal interview. This will help you understand the fields you're interested in, the people, personalities, and processes involved, and will help you choose.

Hi Perla
It is great you have many interests. Maybe think of your top 3 interests and see if any leads you to want to learn more.
If you are deciding on college classes, I would start with the core classes to get a better idea if you want to pursue further. After taking different core classes from a foreign language to accounting it helped me before I changed my major.
Perla there will be bumps and no so fun days - you never know where your different interests will lead so always be curious to learn more and follow your passion. A hobby can be an enjoyable life-time activity or future business.
I tell my kids, have fun, keep safe and learn all you can to be the best version of yourself to share with your family and community.

Hi, Perla! What a great question, and how lucky and resourceful you are to have many varied interests!
That is a sign of a person who is intrigued by life and all life has to offer. Always be that way, and you will find you have much to offer life as well.
Now, as to harnessing all those interests into a career choice, here is my guidance.
I would focus not so much on a formal career as on areas where you can make a difference.
Careers can change (or even disappear), but being of service will always be in demand.
In my experience, the people who are the most content with their existence on earth are those who can combine these three things into what they do:
Something they love;
Something they are good at; and
Something that is part of a greater cause to bring goodness to this world.
Of course, only you can figure out where in your life these three elements will coalesce. But that's the fun of life. Seek and you will find!
Don't be afraid to try many things. Volunteer in causes. Do part-time work. Explore the world with your eyes and heart open to learn and to serve.
Before you know it, the right path will present itself to you.
I wish you much happiness in your search, and great success when you find what you are searching for.
Best regards

Hello Perla,
It is good that you are thinking about wanting a career and it is okay to not understand straight away. I thought about what interested me, what I was passionate about, what I am good at when it comes to school and looked at I wanted my life to look like. I would suggest picking 5 different career paths that you could see yourself doing, look up possible future jobs that you could get and find different jobs or volunteer opportunities that could be related to your ultimate career. It will not be straight forward, there might be changes when it comes to what you want and life changes quickly which is okay. It is good to explore your options and I know that you will be able to find something that fits what you want. Keep going!

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
Even though you have many different interests, think about what you are really good at doing naturally, and what you like to do. Look at your interests through that lens, and that should help to narrow choices down. You can always keep the interest, and dabble at it as a hobby, but whether it's a viable career choice comes down to what you are naturally good at, have an aptitude for learning more about, and how plentiful that interest is in the job market. For instance, if you move around state to state, could you find work? Does it pay well and allow you to achieve goals personally and professionally you may attain to? Also, you may change directions over the course of your career ---- nothing says your choice today has to be with you forever. Life is about adapting.
Updated
Blue Shield of California’s Answer
I've found success in selecting between different interests by going with the one that feels more challenging. For two main reasons. First, I find it rewarding to eventually accomplish a challenging goal. Second, there are likely fewer people tackling that area of interest and I can have the largest impact to my community there.
Updated
Blue Shield of California’s Answer
Whenever possible, try to spend some time doing a job that includes one or more of your interests. You may either find out that the interest isn't fun to do as a paying job, or, you may find it even more enjoyable than you thought. Don't worry too much about the amount of income at first. If you decide you want to pursue an interest as a career, you will be able to find ways to make money at it. The key is "allowing" instead of putting out "blocking" energy :-)
Updated
Blue Shield of California’s Answer
I can definitely relate as there were so many things that interested me when I was in school (and even now!). Just remember that whatever decisions you make now don't have to be the same decisions you make for the rest of your life. I changed my mind about careers so many times that my family used to tease me about it. Ultimately, I ended up choosing a career where I felt the most passionate and energy about. In the meantime, I still explore other interests through classes, activities and doing my own training. One thing that also helped me was reaching out to people in these different fields to learn more about what the job was like. I found that people were willing to talk to me (even if it was just for a few minutes). That helped me learn whether or not it was something I would want to do as a job or if it would just be a hobby.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
- You won't know until you try, so I would just start with one or two of interests and see where it takes you. Some interests you might quickly realize are not for you, and you can adjust from there. You career and interests will change over time, it's part of the fun of building your own path, you get to decide where to go to next!
- Consider volunteering or networking with professionals in your areas of interest. Remember, your initial career choice is not set in stone; many individuals change their paths as they progress through life. Additionally, numerous skills are transferable across different careers.

You can look online for information on careers related to your interests.
Attend career fairs if offered at your school.
Talk your school counselor for more information.
See if there is an opportunity to volunteer for a group related to your interests (ie. tutoring elementary school kids if you might want to be a teacher).

Stay open to new possibilities. Connect with people in the fields you like, and also reach out to those in different areas. Ask them what they love most about their job and what they would change. Find out if they imagined this career in high school and what led them to it. It's important to enjoy and feel fulfilled by your work. You might discover a career you never considered, and it could be the best decision you ever make.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
Deciding on a career path is challenging for many. I would say that taking up a part time position in a field of interest is a great way to get your feel wet without fully committing (if feasible). Volunteering is also a great choice. But if those options do not work, simply getting contact information for someone in the industry is a great start. There will likely be someone who is willing to chat with you about the position they are in and answer questions you have. Ultimately, if you get started doing something that is not a right fit, there will be many signs and other opportunities. Just because you start where you think you want to be, doesn't mean you are stuck in that position forever.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
The best way to choose a career is to try it out. Take a class in the career field of your choice, volunteer, or ask someone. You won't know if you really like something until you actually do it. Once you do it, you may actually realize it isn't for you.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
If you’re exploring career options and have a range of interests, one of the best ways to start is by taking interviews with companies across the different fields you're curious about—even if they’re not directly tied to your degree. These conversations give you a real feel for the role, the team, and whether the work aligns with your goals.
If you're leaning toward building your own business or working as an independent contractor, the great thing is you don’t have to choose just one path right away. You can explore multiple areas at once, and over time, as you gain experience, you may naturally find yourself gravitating toward a specific niche or focus.

If there are opportunities to volunteer or start working in your fields of interest before you've committed, try it. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was in college. I was undeclared in college for the first 2 years. I ended up choosing Sociology because I liked learning about people in society, but also during those two years I worked a school with kids on Probation and loved it. I was a tutor, but I'd also assist with afterschool activities. Because I enjoyed working with teens and was good at de-escalating situations that would happen in the school, it was there that I learned about becoming a social worker and how the social workers at the school would help counsel the kids. The bonus is that my picking Sociology still ended up being a good undergraduate major too for me to apply to a Masters program for Social Work right after my Bachelors.

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
It's amazing the types of career paths you can go down that you didn't know existed or that are different from what you've studied. It can be helpful to make an inventory list of what is most important for you to have in a career/your life versus those things that are nice to have. Connect with people to find out what they do and what they like or don't like about it. Informational interviews are very helpful as well as internship programs. You can also start with finding a job that leverages your strongest skills or those you are most interested in to see what opportunities exist in an organization you are interested in working for.

Hi Perla,
First, think about what you enjoy and see which of these interests have good opportunities in today's job market. This can help you decide on a career.
Once you've picked your top three interests, choose the one that excites you the most and offers both learning and career growth. Start learning about it in small steps, and notice what you enjoy the most. Plan your next steps based on this.
We all face challenges in choosing a path because of social pressures and responsibilities, but taking these steps can make it easier.

Have you thought about General Studies? I am doing a double major, Social Work and General Studies. General Studies' course map is pretty broad and covers criminal justice, sociology, creative writing, tech writing, and commercial production, just to name a few. You can even get online to a few colleges and browse through their programs of study. It can help a bit. Double majors are pretty cool because your credits cover both. Hope you decide on what's good and comfortable for you. You got this!

Blue Shield of California’s Answer
That's a great delima, first I see it as an opportunity to have so many interests. That makes it more fun to see what you would like to do, during my undergraduate degree, my internship required I do 800 hours of "work" for my degree. This helped me as I also had so many interest and didn't know what I would 'like' and LOVE doing for a career. I did several internships, and discovered that there was things, that I didn't enjoy doing as a "job" but more as a hobby. SO, try to find internships or volunteer in the areas you are interested to develop your skills and see if it fills you and your passion. This will also help you develop future references for future jobs.
