Amy’s Answer

Hi D!

If you like listening to people's problems and helping them find solutions, you might consider becoming a therapist or psychologist. These jobs let you support people in different stages of life. You could work with children, the elderly, students, or adults. Some therapists and psychologists run their own businesses, while others work for companies. There are many paths you can take!

Try talking to your school counselor to see if you can observe their work and learn more about what they do. You could also contact local psychologists to ask about their experiences and how they began their careers. Good luck!

Amy recommends the following next steps:

Speak with your school counselor about your interests and their path.

Keira’s Answer

Hi, there are a number of options you could explore. If you want to help people but prefer to work one-on-one, you could continue on to a Master’s in Social Work and get your LCSW (a clinical license to practice one-on-one with patients). If you’re interested in music, you could look into changing to a Marketing or Business major and doing the business side of music. Doing something in social media might be up your alley as well.
I would encourage you to meet with a career counselor to take a career assessment test; I found that really helpful when I wanted to change my professional focus from Advertising to Higher Education.
