what type of career or type of work do you see me doing
Hi! I'm a freshmen student in college . I am trying to understand what kind of work would suit me in the future. My strongest subject in highschool was journalism , where I enjoy creating fake magazines and ads for companies like Pepsi or NYX. I'm sort of outgoing or communicative, but I don't enjoy jobs that require you to sit for a long time. In Chemistry and Algebra I notice that I enjoy take notes about anything, and I notice I can learn a bit faster than normal, even if I don't like the subject. Considering these strengths and preferences, is it normal for someone like me to work in hospital-based or analytical jobs? What kind ofcareer should I consider ? Thank you
