How did you decide the right career path for life?
I am a high school senior and I am worried I will pick the wrong path and can't afford to live or worse I will be miserable. Seriously, How can I commit to something I have NO experience in and spend $40k in college.

Hello Reese,
Your inquiry has gone into my weekly mail. It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about your future—most professionals didn’t have it all figured out at your age. Start by exploring what excites you, whether it’s solving problems, helping people, or creating something new. Every small step you take—like researching a role, shadowing someone, or trying a project—builds clarity over time. Actually, I am unemployed, and the successful career path for women is not easy. My background is in Finance, and I have worked in a big enterprise corporation in my country. I live in Southeastern Europe (Balkans), where the economic situation is not very favorable, like the development countries like the USA. I am aware that the tuition at universities in the USA is higher, and you need to be in debt with the government to earn a diploma in the field that you would prefer to pursue. Connections matter as much as skills. Reach out to teachers, alumni, or professionals in fields you’re curious about. A short message asking for advice can open doors. Stay updated with other peers' answers. Don't be pessimistic - Confidence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s built by trying, failing, and trying again. Every time you step outside your comfort zone, you grow. Think of skills as tools—you’re collecting them now so you’ll be ready when opportunities appear. Hope it helps. Good luck and blessings.
