How do I choose what I want to study after high school?

Hello everyone!

I can't seem to decide what to study after high school. I've been thinking about it for quite a long time, but now that the applications are getting closer and many people are already preparing for entrance exams and building up extracurriculars, I'm very nervous about it. It's just difficult to choose!

A little bit about me:

I'm an ambitious student. I have A's from all my subjects and I'm honestly pretty good at maths and physics, however I'm also interested in psychology and people. I'm ambivert and I need something dynamic, repetitiveness drains me out and bores me. I'm quite creative type of person too. I'm very passionate about travelling and meeting people all around the world. I wouldn't mind working remotely. Though I don't like programming and chemistry at all. I also don't wanna be a scientist, it feels quite isolating. I'm also worried about money and employability, I don't want to work for minimal wage or find out that my degree has barely any use after.

Is there any career that would fit me? Thanks a lot in advance!

Thank you comment icon Choose a career with strong growth and demand. Psychology and psychiatry are both excellent options. The main difference is whether you prefer treating patients with therapy or medicine; psychiatrists can do both. Becoming a psychiatrist requires a 4-year bachelor’s degree, 4 years of medical school, and a 4-year residency, with an optional 1–2-year child psychiatry fellowship. A psychologist typically completes a 4-year bachelor’s degree and a 5–7-year PhD. Both paths take a similar amount of time, but psychiatry generally offers higher pay. Consider whether the cost of education is worth the expected salary based on your financial situation. Alexis

Hello Victoria. Since you enjoy maths, physics, psychology, creativity, and working with people, you may want to explore careers in business, finance, economics, data analytics, engineering management, user experience (UX) research, project management, or consulting. These fields combine problem-solving with communication and often provide good career opportunities.

Because you enjoy meeting new people and traveling, you can also look for careers that involve teamwork, client interaction, or international work. Many roles in business, consulting, marketing, and project management also offer remote or hybrid work options.

Since you do not enjoy programming, chemistry, or scientific research, you do not have to force yourself into those fields. It is better to choose a career that matches both your interests and your strengths, rather than one that you think you "should" pursue.
