Hi Yubin,
Since you’re still in high school, I think a good job for now could be something entry-level, like tech support, a role as a computer helper, or even a pharmacy or medical office assistant. Going to college or trade school later is also an option if you want a career in computers or medicine. For now, I would try to find part-time work or volunteer to see what you enjoy most.

Hi Yubin!
Great to hear you're thinking about your future. I would say the first step to finding what career path is right for you is to enroll in college and get through your basic required core classes. This usually helps you narrow in on your interests and occasionally makes you realize what type of work you don't want to do. From there I would suggest taking an array of electives in computer science and healthcare which will help you hone in on what feels like the right path to you. The good news is that you have tons of time to figure out your career path and it's great you're thinking about this before you finish high school!
Best of luck!

Reflect on the courses you took in high school and, on the reasons you chose those particular courses including your electives. I enjoyed chemistry because the concepts were logical and I could see application in everyday life. I was fascinated by concepts taught in organic chemistry and how that tied into how cells utilize energy. The body is a fantastic creation. I found myself reading more than the assigned coursework. I took advanced organic chemistry course because I was curious and this fueled interest in other areas such as biochemistry and cell biology. In college I shared my interest with professors, they in turn advised on readings and avenues for mentorship. If you are not headed to college after high school, then do find mentors who can help you know career pathways. You can use community college to take introductory computer science and medical terminology courses. This would allow you to build a foundation for roles like a Health Informatics Specialist or Clinical Informatics Analyst, which sit at the intersection of healthcare, data, and technology to optimize patient care systems. Community colleges offer accelerated technical training for specialized roles that rely heavily on computer diagnostics rather than direct bedside nursing. I have attached some links.
