What classes should I start signing up for high school as I am not yet sure of what I want to do in life?
I am an 8th grader in middle school, signing up for high school. I am an athlete in soccer and track, and for a while, I've had aspirations for becoming a professional athlete. I've come to realize that I also need to have a plan for what jobs I can do besides that, or additionally to that. I am not sure of what specific job I want to do, but I am leaning towards the medical or engineering field. Are there specific classes that I can take that will get me ahead of the game? Are there specific classes high school athletes take to be eligible for sports in college? Also, my high school will soon be getting the IB program, and I was thinking of opting out of it, but I have heard many good things about the program. This high school does not have the best reputation for sports. What should I consider? Any help will be received with extreme gratitude. Thanks, Student
