I don't know what career I want

IM A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. ITS TIME TO GET GOING ON COLLEGE AND CAREER IDEAS. I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE I WANT TO GO OR WHAT I WANT TO DO. I’ve BEEN ASKING MYSELF WHAT IM REALLY INTERESTED IN FOR ALONG TIME, BUT I CANT COME UP WITH ANYTHING. I DONT WANT TO WAIT TOO LONG, I want to MAKE SURE THAT I HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AND THAT I ENJOY WHAT IM DOING. IT SEEMS LIKE all of my friends know exactly WHERE THEIR GOING AND WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. NOT ME. HOW CAN I FIND SOME MORE INTERESTS?

Answer #1

Try looking into your hobbies and interests. Many people start out their careers with their hobbies and interests and find a way to get paid for it. Most times students start college with one major and completely change it by the time they’re a Sophomore or Junior. What happens is, when your in high school you really aren’t exposed to the vast job opportunities in the world and are typically restricted to well known careers such as a fireman, teacher, cop, astronaut, etc. Don’t worry, by the time you are in college you will have been exposed to enough out in the world to have a good idea of what you want to do.

You can always start out in college with an undecided major or liberal arts major to get a feel for different classes.
