Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question. The most important is to find out what careers you have interest.
Below are my suggestion :
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favorite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you have interest in Maths, would you have interest to be an accountant, engineer, financial analyst, banker, maths teacher, etc.
If you like music, would you like to be a musician, musical artist, singer, music composer, music producer, etc.
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 entry criteria of relevant subjects in your college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

You need to think about the subjects you enjoy, your interests, and the skills you want to develop. Choose something that makes you curious and that you would enjoy learning more about.
Another thing to consider is how many career options a major can offer. Some majors, such as business, communications, and computer science, can lead to different types of jobs. Choosing a major with flexible career paths can give you more time to discover what you enjoy.
You should also research the classes you would take and the skills you would learn. Look at possible jobs, salary ranges, and job opportunities after graduation. Talking to college students or people working in different fields can help you understand what those careers are really like.
It's also important to consider college costs, how long the program takes, and whether the major fits your strengths. You can explore your interests through electives, internships, volunteering, and student clubs before making a final decision.
