How do I choose between a career in hair styling, sports, or becoming a math tutor?

I’m interested in a few different career paths: hair styling, working in sports, and becoming a math tutor. I’m not sure which one would be the best fit for me long-term. I’d like advice on how to compare these options, what skills or education each one requires, and how I can figure out which path suits me best

It sounds like you might have a set of skills that would be best to setup gigs rather than try to fill them out as a single job. I think all are useful skills and you might want to do all three, it might be easiest to gig with them, as in, do small jobs in specific time allotments. Likely you will find one that pays better, or you like doing more and may make that a full time job rather than gig all the time. I think often when we think of a job we need a title, a company, a place to do the work, some sort of accreditation that we do that job. Instead try to figure out how you can make the best of your time and fill it with gigs. It will take more attention and possibly more of your time, but hopefully one of those gigs doesn't feel like work to you!

Choosing between paths as different as hair styling, sports, and math tutoring can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to decide everything today; instead, try to look at the daily lifestyle each one offers, like the social, hands-on creativity of a salon versus the structured, problem-solving environment of tutoring. While hair styling usually requires a specialized cosmetology license and tutoring often depends on your own academic track record or a teaching certification, a career in sports can range from coaching to management, which might require a degree in sports science or business. You'll gain the most clarity by trying a tiny version of each, such as shadowing a local stylist for a day, volunteering to coach a youth team, or helping a friend work through a tough algebra chapter to see which one leaves you feeling the most energized. Your path doesn't have to be a straight line, and the skills you pick up in one area will likely help you in the others more than you'd expect. Good luck.
