What you have had dream about, interest in relative to what you enjoy outside of school or in relation to school. As long as you research on if that career plan is long term.. some people can’t automatically choose as they get out of school and whine up dropping out that even maybe down the line good or bad depending on your mindset as you get older.. some figure they know they’ll have kids and become a teacher or good as dealing with kids.. some are good/great cooks and go to culinary school where that can encourage your want to open a business and then go to college to still obtain a business degree in entrepreneurship:business management.. some go to school for agriculture as they worked around animals/plants.. where in science class some actually like science and had to dissect an animal or see how a plant can grow in a soda bottle with soil under sunlight.. some like to play in make up/hair and go to cosmetology school where opening their own salon is apart of business administration… tap into your most important skills.. also trade schools are beneficial in what college doesn’t teach.

Ziyi;
I would suggest that you engage all the tools available to you. Talk to you guidance counselor they have surveys, tests and other tools which can help show you careers which you may be best suited for. Be open minded, in high school I never would have dreamed I would end up as a telecommunications engineer. Had I not opened my mind to the military, I probably would be working in retail today.
Think of things that you are passionate about, part of the decisions for a career is it has to be something you love or that energizes you. There is nothing worse than working in a job or career field that takes all your energy from you. Don't chase the $$$$; they will come if you excel at you job. Which again is another reason to love what your doing. If you are counting the minutes to quitting time you may be in the wrong field.

I think it is important to utilize your first year taking a range of courses that seem interesting and try to determine what you are mostly interested in. Additionally, make sure you utilize the guidance and career counselors at the school they are a great resource and can help you with courses and career paths.

Hi Ziya -
I grew up in San Mateo, it's nice to chat with a fellow northern Californian.
Accounting as a college major prepares you to manage, analyze, and report financial information for businesses and organizations, covering areas like auditing, taxation, and financial reporting, offering strong job stability, diverse career paths (auditor, financial analyst, budget analyst), and good demand, though some tasks involve detail-oriented work and the field is evolving with technology like AI. Programs build skills in financial analysis, problem-solving, and understanding business regulations, often requiring courses in math (stats, calculus), economics, and business law, leading to degrees like BBA or BS in Accounting.
You'll get plenty of business acumen that will help you in any career - it's a great choice.
