If you’re not sure what degree to pursue yet, that’s completely normal. A great place to start is talking with your school guidance counselor — they can help you sort through your interests and strengths. You can also take a few free career or personality tests online; those can show you what fields you might naturally be good at or enjoy. Once you get a better sense of what interests you, it becomes much easier to narrow down a major. For now, just focus on exploring and learning more about yourself — the right path will start to make more sense as you go.
Thanks for the advice.

Hey Katy! Honestly, if you're not sure what you want to do career-wise, don't stress too much because a lot of us figure it out along the way. From my own experience, I started with a Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering, which is a super versatile degree because it touches on business, analytics, optimization, and project management all at once. That foundation alone opened doors for me to work as an Analyst, then move into consulting roles, and even land an internship at a big tech company. Later on, I went back for a Master's in Engineering and an MBA, which helped me level up into more strategic and leadership-oriented roles. The point is, I didn't have it all mapped out from day one. I picked a degree that was broad enough to keep my options open, built real-world skills along the way in things like data science, process improvement, and business analytics, and let my career evolve naturally. So my advice would be: go for something that's flexible and teaches you how to problem-solve, because that'll serve you no matter where you end up, and remember you can always specialize later through work experience or grad school once you figure out what excites you!
Thank you for taking the time to help.

Thank you for your question. Many student have similar question. The most important is to find out what career you have interest.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favorite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers.
E.g. If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an engineer, accountant, financial analyst, banker, maths teacher, etc.
If you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music producer, music composer, 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 careers 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!
May Almighty God bless you!

Vianne’s Answer
If you're unsure about your career path, choose a degree that keeps your options open. Consider fields like business, communications, psychology, or general studies, as they teach valuable skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and communication that are useful in many jobs.
Focus on what interests you most right now. Even if you're not certain about a career, take classes that excite you. College is the perfect time to explore and try different things before deciding on one path.
Think about choosing a broad major with a minor in a different area. This gives you a mix of skills and makes it easier to change directions if your interests shift. The goal is to build skills and experience while discovering what you enjoy, helping you make a more confident decision later.
