Start by visualizing your ultimate goal, then plan your steps in reverse order. Ask yourself, what is your dream job? If you're unsure, consider these questions: What are your interests? What subjects do you enjoy? Utilize Google to explore potential career paths. Take a personality test to discover careers that align with your personality type. A fantastic, cost-free resource for this is 16personalities.com, where you can take a personality test.

Once you've identified your dream job, investigate the requirements to achieve it. For instance, if you aspire to be a nurse, you'll need to take numerous science courses in college. Therefore, it's advisable to concentrate on science subjects during high school. Remember, high school lays the foundation for college, and college prepares you for life.

Keep in mind, life is a long journey, and your interests today might evolve over time. You may want to do something different in your 30s or 40s. So, when choosing a major in college, don't limit yourself to a very specific field. Explore a few areas you enjoy, providing you with flexibility to shift or broaden your career path in the future.
