Thank you for your question. I am glad to know you have a wide range of interests.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Given you like dancing, adventure and do hair, would you like to be a dancer, dancing teacher, travel journalist, escort guide, travel agents, hair stylist, etc. You can find out more related careers online.
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 career counselor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the courses relevant to these careers and find out the entry criteria
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hello! I am also a dance, have many hobbies, and appreciate work life harmony. I've been dancing for the past 7 years (going on 8 soon), and I not only dance many days a week, I also travel to dance at conferences around the US and the world. Dance brings me an immense amount of joy, and is not something I am willing to let go of, because it is something that supports both my mental and physical health.
To answer your question about careers and industries that might be a good fit, I recommend looking into the tech field. I've been working in tech for the past 8 years, and find that being able to work remotely or hybrid allows me to have the flexibility to be present in both my work life and my personal life. Also, many skills you learn from working in the technology field transfer over nicely to other industries, and you will gain a competitive portfolio of skills and experience. There are many non-technical and technical roles in tech you can explore based on your interests. You can consider roles as a Software Developer, Client Success professional, Customer Support professional, Product person, Technical Writer, Sales person, Marketing, and more. All departments in tech companies have unique needs, and the best part is that if you ever want to transfer to another industry like Health and work corporate for hospitals, all of these skills transfer into those other industries as well. The ability to work remotely, enjoy flexible time off, and work life harmony brings a lot of value into your personal life and your ability to be present for your hobbies like dance. If you're not sure where to start in tech (the list of potential roles is quite long because there is a lot of opportunity), I recommend exploring an entry level support position, learning about other departments, learning about software and software tools (Confluence, Jira, support tools, documentation, product, help centers), and through that exploration and learning, identifying which department in the tech company you'd like to upskill into. I hope that helps and best of luck from a fellow dancer!

You could consider a career in cosmetology! It usually takes about a year of full-time study, and then you can start an apprenticeship for another year. There are lots of paths you can explore, like becoming a bridal makeup/hair artist or styling for the entertainment industry. This career can be exciting and full of energy!
