What if I still don't know what I'm going to do in the future? Am I behind?
Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school. Seeing many friends who already have plans for their future makes me feel like I'm behind. I thought about going into medicine (like surgery) since it's respected and high-paying, but I'm not sure I'm a good fit. I also love technology and artificial intelligence because of the opportunities they offer. Still, I worry about just coding all day and what happens when a project ends—like, could my company let me go? I'm struggling to find a path where I'm both happy and financially stable. What should I focus on? What is important? I am stressed and scared. #Fall25
