How do I choose what I want to study after high school?
Hello everyone! I can't seem to decide what to study after high school. I've been thinking about it for quite a long time, but now that the applications are getting closer and many people are already preparing for entrance exams and building up extracurriculars, I'm very nervous about it. It's just difficult to choose! A little bit about me: I'm an ambitious student. I have A's from all my subjects and I'm honestly pretty good at maths and physics, however I'm also interested in psychology and people. I'm ambivert and I need something dynamic, repetitiveness drains me out and bores me. I'm quite creative type of person too. I'm very passionate about travelling and meeting people all around the world. I wouldn't mind working remotely. Though I don't like programming and chemistry at all. I also don't wanna be a scientist, it feels quite isolating. I'm also worried about money and employability, I don't want to work for minimal wage or find out that my degree has barely any use after. Is there any career that would fit me? Thanks a lot in advance!

Is pursuing a bachelor’s in Biotechnology in Malaysia a good decision in terms of long-term career prospects ?
I am currently facing a career decision and would like guidance. I originally wanted to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, but many people around me are advising me to reconsider because they believe the field has limited job opportunities and low market demand. I applied to NUST for Biotechnology, but due to limited preparation time I did not score well enough to secure admission (although final merit lists have not been released yet, my chances seem low based on my marks). Before that, I had also applied to universities abroad, including Malaysia and Turkey. However, after deciding to stay in Pakistan, most of the application deadlines for Turkish and other universities passed, except for Malaysia. I have now received offers from two Malaysian universities: Taylor’s University with a 50% scholarship and INTI University with a 45% scholarship. However, I am now hearing concerns that Malaysia also does not have a strong biotechnology job market, which is making me reconsider my decision. At the same time, I am thinking about whether it would be possible or realistic to go to another country for higher studies (Master’s or further education) after completing my bachelor’s degree in Malaysia. Given all of this, I would like advice on the following: Is pursuing a bachelor’s in Biotechnology in Malaysia a good decision in terms of long-term career prospects? And is it a viable pathway to later pursue higher studies or work opportunities in other countries, even if the local Malaysian biotech job market is limited?
Which degrees would you recommend for someone who's interested in Chemistry and the Beauty / Luxury Goods Industry (Cosmetics/Pharmaceuticals/Textiles...) ?
I'm applying for Chemical Engineering in uni - I’m choosing this path because I love chemistry and I want a degree that leads to a high earning career, specifically in the beauty and cosmetics industry (like L'Oréal, Estée Lauder, etc.). However, I've been told by current students that the math and physics are really hard, and I'm scared that I will drop out since I'm not the best at these subjects. Also, they claim that there isn't much chem in the degree anyway. I'm mainly choosing ChemE for the salary (as opposed to a regular chem degree), and for it being a 'general' engineering degree which allows for branching out into varying industries. I would like to work in a fun, sensory, and creative environment, collaborating with marketing and design teams, rather than sitting behind a computer doing stressful heavy simulation or structural modeling... Yet I feel like that's incompatible with the salaries I want. So which degree or studies would you recommend for me? Thanks!
