Tejuoso,
Volunteering/interning will always guarantee that you can find an opportunity in any field you are interested in. You can volunteer in an organization dealing with health advocacy to get near your goals. Get on social media and get involved with public policy discussions. Your main focus should be getting involved in fields dealing with economy, industry and citizens. I wish you the best on your journey.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your reply... U gave me more strength..

No problem that is what I am here for.

Great question! Volunteering/Interning can be a great benefit in your finding a career you wish to choose. It's a relatively open way of gaining both experience and understanding in a field. Don't be afraid in volunteering at multiple fields but give enough time for you to gain an educated opinion. Best of luck!

Great question! An Honorable goal, I am a board member at a local food bank/shelter where i live. I find it very fulfilling to help when I can. Getting started is simple, look for non-profits in your town. You will be surprised how many volunteering opportunities are our there. When I volunteer I will do anything they need, from washing dishes, serving food to cleaning up. So go with an open mind and heart. Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you, I think I need to be more open minded than before.. I just have a passion of contributing to my larger society.

Hi Tejuoso,
What a thoughtful question. Great advice here from others. And I would also add that volunteering in your community can help grow some meaningful connections to help you in your future goals. By volunteering, you are working alongside others in your community that may have different types of careers and even potential job opportunities. It is also a chance to just expand your network of people you know and who can possibly help you in your future career goals.
You can find out volunteer opportunities through your school, church, local non-profit organizations and online by searching helpful volunteer event focused websites.
Best wishes for success in your education and career goals.
