How do I decide what I want to do and know I’m making a good choice ?

I’ve been torn between something in the medical field like physical therapy, nursing, dental hygienist, or a pharmacist or I also really wanted to do cosmetology school or equine dentistry. I’ve been around horses my whole life so I enjoy it a lot and I’ve also been doing hair and makeup my whole life. I enjoy a lot of stuff but I’m having a hard time deciding. I just want to make sure I have enough money to support myself and a family when I’m older #healthcare #medicine #cosmetology #equine

Bob’s Answer

Start by taking the Myers-Briggs Personality Type assessment and the CliftonStrengths assessment to find out what your strengths are. From there, these assessments will make suggestions that match up with those strengths. Great place to start. Does this help?

You should try to shadow different professionals. Things that you might be interested in as hobbies may not be able to hold your interest 8-10 hours per day.

Hwal’s Answer

Madison,

Deciding what to study and major can be such an exciting yet daunting task. One thing that struck me in your question was how you seemed to "enjoy" certain things, because I personally find that being able to enjoy what I do is one of the most important considerations in career decisions.

If you're in middle of high school, perhaps there are school/career counselors you can talk to, who might be able to help you decide or at least point you in the right direction. If you feel comfortable, talking to someone or people that you trust could also be helpful to give you different perspectives, and you could even talk to people already working in some of the many careers you're considering. I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Hwal recommends the following next steps:

Talk to friends or adults that you trust about the many career paths you're considering.
Talk to counselor at school, and see if and where you could get careers counseling.
