Zach’s Answer

Hey Threnesh, what career choice is best for you really depends on one factor: YOU. You have to be honest with yourself about your interests and passions, as well as what you know you don't want to do. Take some time to reflect and explore, and note what comes to mind. Once you have an idea what you might want to do, try it out. Do some research into potential careers and starting jobs given your interests. Maybe reach out to people in those positions and see how they feel about what they do, and if any of their experiences can help you gain a better understanding of what you want to get out of a career. For example, I thought I wanted to be an investment banker on Wall Street because I thought finance was my passion, and I wanted to make a lot of money. I took a college class on investment banking that included a trip to Wall Street, and quickly found out that it wasn't for me. But, I'm happy I did it, otherwise I might still be pursuing that career and further painting myself into a corner and limiting my career options.

As you go through your journey, be sure to document what you do and don't like about certain careers. After all, your career should be something you love. If you find you don't love something, take some time to explore another path that will make you happy. My biggest advice to you would be: don't limit your options. Always be open to learning something new and exploring the unknown, you never know what may be waiting for you. Good luck!

Zach recommends the following next steps:

Reflect on what you enjoy
Research entry-level jobs and careers related to your interests
Research the requirements needed for these jobs
Take action to fulfill these requirements

Misti’s Answer

Hello Threnesh,

As a Human Resources Professional, I would encourage you to identify your strengths and also what you enjoy before choosing a career path. I always wanted to be a Veterinarian, but do not perform my best in Math and Science. I obtained my degree in Business Management and discovered that my strengths were supporting business strategy and Human Capital operations. I would recommend thinking about what you excel in either through school or extra curricular activities and what would keep you interested in a long term career. There are opportunities to adapt and progress within a career field that is growing, so I recommend identifying fields that are growing. Also, look for a career that provides you with flexibility in order to accommodate life activities. Best of luck to you!

Christina’s Answer

This is a very personal question and will be different for every person. It depends on your interests, strengths, passions, preferred lifestyle, priorities, location, stability. Some people value flexibility and autonomy. Others value stability and structure. My major has nothing to do with my current career -- and I love my current job! So you don't need to figure it all out before/during college. You have plenty of time. You should explore your interests and strengths, and get as much exposure as you can!
