How do you know what career to pursue when you keep changing your mind?
I'm a junior in high school, and every time I would think of what I want to do with my life, I'd change my mind. First, I wanted to be a teacher for little kids, then a college professer and now an animator/storywriter. How do you set your mind to one thing and stick with it?

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you better to find out what you have interest now.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc. and identify the relevant careers
E.g. If you like music, would you like to be a singer, musical artist, musician, music producer, music composer, etc.
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an engineer, accountant, banker, finance manager, financial analyst, 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
Let's focus on what you have interest now. You may change your career in the future given your interest may change. Many people change different careers throughout their working life.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

A Chinese philosopher once said that every long journey starts with a single step. Think of each goal you have as a journey with a start, middle, and finish. Look into each dream you have, like becoming a teacher, professor, or animator/storywriter, to see if you want to put in the time and effort to make it happen.
