Hi there!


Finding the right career path is a challenge and it's tough! I'd say first things to look at is finding your passion and invest in it as much as you can! You like taking pictures? Take your phone and start taking pictures that you post on Instagram and Snapchat! You like cooking? Start watching YouTube videos about cooking and try new recipes! Just think about the things you like to do and you're good at, get better and better at them and then try to make a living of it!


Here's an article you might enjoy reading about the power of action:

Go and do what you love!


Best of luck!

Hi!


You asked a very important question. Here are some exercises that might help. Also, you can talk to your school counselor about career interest and aptitude testing, which will also help.

When you find something that looks interesting, you can do the following:
- talk to your school counselor about becoming involved in coop, intern, shadowing, and volunteer programs that will allow you to see the inside of a career area to learn what people do, how they got there, and how you feel about it.
- talk to the head of alumni relations at your school to arrange to meet and talk to graduates of your school who are doing what you think that you want to do, so you can learn more
- talk to your school counselor and the reference librarian at your local library to locate professional organizations to which people in your career area of interest belong, so you can mix and mingle and learn more


Let me know if and how this helps. Keep me posted. I would like to follow your progress.
