You might start out by exploring your personal interests and strengths through activities like taking career assessments, at a local job or employment center. This will help you determine where your greatest strengths are, whether it be in things like Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Math, Computer Science, STEM Careers and other career concentrations.
Next, research different potential career paths by conducting informational interviews with people like college professors and people at the career center, and investigating national and regional job market trends.
Finally, consider your long-term goals and values, and remember that it is okay to be undecided and be willing to change things around as you get more experience and learn more about yourself and different fields. As we grow older we should definitely be willing to seek more education and engage in activities that will enable us to progress in life.
I have a basic formula, when it comes to determining a college major or even a future occupation. Choose something that you love to do, not just a passion, but really love. It must be something that you love so much, that even if they did not pay you to do it, you would still do it anyway. American historian, David McCullough, said it even more clearly. He stated that he loved writing about history so much, that he would have paid someone, so that he could do it every day. His love of his major and occupation was this great.
Basically, you will be doing something that you love to do so much, that even if you were not paid to do it, you would still do it anyway.
It will be a career where you cannot wait to get into the office, and you will be the first to arrive in the morning, and the last to leave in the evening.
When you reach this point in your life, then you are on the correct path, which will lead to success.

It's completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed when you're trying to figure out your future career path, but honestly, this is such an exciting time to explore what makes you feel energized. To find the right fit, you should start by thinking about what you naturally enjoy doing in your free time, whether that's solving tricky puzzles, helping others, or creating something from scratch. Think about the environments where you feel most like yourself, because a job isn't just about the tasks you do, it's about finding a place where your unique personality and talents can really shine. You don't have to have all the answers right this second, so try to be patient with yourself as you test out different interests and see where they lead. You have so much potential to offer the world, and I'm confident you'll find a path that feels rewarding and meaningful to you. Believe in yourself and good luck.

Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question.
Below are my suggestion:
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favorite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you like music, would you to be a musician, musical artist, singer, music producer, music composer, etc.
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, finance manager, maths teacher, 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 subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
