Abinaya’s Answer

Start by paying attention to what you naturally enjoy and what you’re good at—those are your clues. Then zoom out a bit and ask, “Where is this useful in the real world?”
A simple way to connect the dots:
List your interests (e.g., writing, tech, helping people, organizing).
Match them to skills (writing → communication, tech → problem-solving).
Explore careers that use those skills (communication → marketing, journalism; problem-solving → engineering, data analysis).
Try small experiences—internships, online projects, volunteering—to see if it actually fits.
Talk to people already in those fields to understand the day-to-day reality.
It’s not about finding one perfect match right away. It’s more like testing paths, adjusting, and gradually narrowing down what feels right and sustainable.

You could could shadow a High School English teacher. That could give you exposure to one job that a lot of people with English degrees have. Also, you could write articles for the school newspaper.
