Adri,
Like you, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for a career. I chose to study what had been my favorite subject in high school when I got to college. If you don’t have a favorite, you can take general education or study “undeclared” for a year or two. During that time, take a broad range of classes. You can do that at community college or many four-year colleges.
While at college, use the career center to take tests that help you focus your interests and to sign up for career classes. You will learn how to research a career. Talk to people in different careers.
My college career center helped me identify my career path. Interestingly, most students change their majors, so don’t worry. It’s about the journey at your age, not the final destination!

As someone who's changed careers several times, I can assure you that you don't have to figure it all out today. My suggestion would be to pursue what you're good at; you're likely to do better and enjoy it more. And if you're doing well (whatever the subject) it's pretty easy to switch into something else if you want to change your focus.

I would start with finding what you like you do in your day? what inspires you and motivates you?
Do you have any role models that you aspire to be like? See what they did and follow their footsteps. College Career Center can be a great resource in helping you narrow your pick depending on your interest.

There is no preparation needed for this . Based on your scores , areas which are potential career options are identified . For example if you are good at numbers , careers in science and engineering might be good for you. Spatial ability excellence might suggest architecture or design as a good career option. Sometimes taking a few unrelated courses might help you in gauging whether you are interested in that field .
