Hi George
You have some great advice from other mentors to get you started on your career journey search. To add on to their guidance, I suggest that you consider gaining insight into your natural strengths and building your career search options from there. Starting with an understanding of what comes naturally to you will help define your true strengths and what skills are typically associated with those strengths. From there you can identify what interests you and how your strengths help build a sustainable career path. There are a number of assessments available. My favorite is StrengthsFinder. But, take your time to find the one that best suits your needs.
Best wishes as you begin this exciting search to establishing your career path.

Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question. In fact, you are the best person to answer this question. You have to identify what career you have interest first.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you like maths, would you like to be an accountant, banker, engineer, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc.
If you have interest in music, would you consider to be a musician, singer, music composer, musical artist, 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 counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 career you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in the college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
