Hi Jaden! It sounds like you’re a strong student with a really solid mix of skills, and that puts you in a great position as you start thinking about your career. Being both creative and comfortable with math opens up a lot of interesting paths, so the way you’re thinking about this already makes sense.
Some career paths you might enjoy include product or UX (user-experience design) roles, marketing or growth analytics, data visualization, and business or strategy analytics. These roles let you solve problems, think creatively, and still use data and logic.
The best way to figure out what fits is to try things in small ways. Take short courses, work on small projects, or talk to people in roles you’re curious about to understand what their day-to-day work is like.
Also, don’t feel pressure to have it all figured out right now. Your first job is about learning and exploring. If you focus on building skills and doing work you enjoy, the path will become clearer over time.

Hi Jaden
It's great that you have a passion for artistic/creative things. The combination of that with math skills is an added plus. Take time to reflect what type of artistic/creative work interests you the most - think of what you would enjoy doing every day.
Is there any local community fair/event where you could showcase your artwork? This is a great way for you to advertise yourself for getting a job & paid for your work.
At the same time, are there areas where you need formal certification/training? Sometimes additional qualifications can further boost your resume to prospective employers. So please explore courses or certifications that you are able to pursue.
Look for a local or online community of individuals with similar interests like you and join that - that can expand your network and also show you what is possible.
Good luck with your career!

Hi Jaden!
Have you thought about a career in Accounting or Finance? I enjoyed math when I was younger, which led me to business management and accounting. There are many exciting areas like auditing, taxes, and consulting that you can explore. Since you learn quickly, I believe you can do well in any of them. Try taking a few introductory classes to see if you like it. Also, consider looking for internships to get a better feel for the field. You’ve got this!

You have skills and confidence that can help you succeed in many careers. That's great! To build on this, think about your people skills. Do you like making new connections? Even in fields like accounting, building strong client relationships is important, especially as you advance. Try to narrow down your interests and become an active networker. Talk to professionals through friends and family to learn about their daily work. This can help you create a list of career options. Then, focus on exploring these options through conversations or internships.
