Hello Jacob P.
Asking "what career is right for me?" is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The right career brings you success and happiness. But if you make a poor decision, through using information that is too simple or not based on research, it can damage your prospects, relationships and prosperity for many years to come.
Career Choice Factors
The factors to take into account, when trying to find the right career for you, include:
Skills
Your skills are based on your natural aptitudes and developed through training/education.
Values
You may wish to consider factors such as the type of lifestyle you want, your beliefs, and the ethical nature of company or industry you want to work in.
Constraints
Your choice of career might be constrained by financial or geographical limitations, family responsibilities, physical disability or your qualifications/education
Ambitions
You may want to consider if and when you want to start a family and "settle down", whether you want a single job for the rest of your life or have the option to change career, and potential ambitions for setting up your own business. You should also consider what your retirement strategy will be.
Opportunities
Deciding what you want to do is of no use unless there are opportunities for you to pursue. You can find opportunities through various ways, e.g.: responding to advertisements for jobs or vocational training/sponsorship; making unsolicited approaches to organisations to see if there are any vacancies; networking through people you know to get referrals to potential employers; and creating your own business.
Personality
Your personality is a very important factor. It consists of things you know about your self, unconscious motivations, and your personality preferences which you can discover with our personality/career test.
Most of these criteria are relatively straightforward to take into account. You can often identify your skills, values, ambitions, etc. through reflection or discussion with a career counsellor. The area that is more difficult to establish is the match between your personality and the job. This is where our career test can help. We conducted research with 17,000 people into job enjoyment, described in our personality test technical manual. This showed that the main factors in job enjoyment were:
The degree of difference (or stretch) between the job profile and your unique personality profile (not your personality type). If you have to stretch more, the job is less enjoyable.
The nature of the job itself. Irrespective of how well your personality matches the career, some jobs are inherently more enjoyable than others.

Hi Jacob,
Whatever career you end up in, I would recommend starting with the skills and interests that you already have. What do you do as a hobby? What would you do with your time if you didn't have anything to do? For me, writing was what I always did, what I automatically did whenever I had some spare time. Or reading so that I could make my writing better. The use of the written word has never been a hardship for me. Start wherever that place is for you. Why? Work in any field, even one you love, can be difficult at one point or another. It can become boring or frustrating. So you have to love what you do at the end of the day to get through those times.
You have been given some resources to see what you care about by others in this post. Use those resources to learn more about yourself, what your natural gifts or interests are. Use them to give you a place to start.
Good luck on your journey,
Gloria

The career that's right for you can only be chosen by you, choosing a wrong career from the start happens to most of the people one of the example is myself I studied Accounting but what I have always wants to do is help people in distress and give advice most times, though I am very good when it comes to Accounting and other calculation but it wasn't me, I had to do me, so I met a man that adviced me to go for career test online, I did the test and the result was pointing to what I have always wanted to do which results in career change from Accounting to Counseling and social worker, think within yourself do you wants to spend the rest of your life working in film industry or you want something much more better than that? Think my friend.

I think if you are interested in film studies you can start by doing things that interest you. Film studies can be a big scope of expertise, film making , , directing, editing , choreography, production, film critics, etc, so start doing things which interested you the most. I believe you will soon find your passion and the career which fits you the most.

I could see you trying something in film media and marketing. By film studies, do you mean more like historical studies? There might be a demand for that in working with museums.

It depends, as I don't know whatever you want really wish to do. However, if you are very passionate about something, be it filmmaking, drawing, photography, acting or anything else, then find whatever means necessary to pursue it. You don't even need to go to college as long as you can create the work to the best of its potential; animation is a field where all you truly need is a portfolio and an online presence. Also, if you have a certain field you want to pursue, talk to people who have worked in said profession. Knowing people will help you get far in life.
