Hi James🤗
There will probably soon come a time in your life when you will need to make a choice about your future. A significant decision is the choice of a future profession and, accordingly, the choice of specialty and university.
Consider your interests
Imagine your dream job. There is an old saying: "If you are trying to choose a career, you need to think about what you would do if you didn't have to work." If you want to be happy doing what you love, you need to be very aware of your desires and passions. Think about the subjects you liked at school. Don't neglect career guidance tests.
Analyze your skills
Think about what areas you excel in at school, what subjects were especially easy, what you are really good at.
Pay attention to your hobbies. If you love to dance, why not become a choreographer and teach others to do it? What you enjoy and motivates you to become better will always bring you pleasure.

This is a big question, but a great one! I'd encourage you to explore as much as you can at this stage in life. Electives in school, clubs that are available on campus and looking at volunteer opportunities in the community. The more you can experience, the better chance you might find something you love and enjoy.
You can also ask teachers and those in your life what they think you'd be good at. That might give you a few ideas to chase.

Hello James, it's truly remarkable to pursue what you're passionate about. Reflect on what brings you happiness and seek out activities that resonate with that joy. It's also important to consider your core beliefs. Do your actions align with your principles?
I found my joy in assisting others, which led me to choose a career in Human Resources. It's a fulfilling path that allows me to make a difference in people's lives. So, ask yourself - what activities do you find enjoyable? What gives you a sense of making a positive impact on others?
I trust this advice will guide you well. Best wishes, Renee.

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