Hi Mei!
Great that you are thinking about combining or exploring a wide field of interests. What comes to mind when you need to consider a career route is the culture (how the employees interact in the workplace), policies (the standards and terminology you need to become familiar with), and your personality (what complements your skills or talents).
I recommend to start with this career assessment to clarify your interests: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/RIASEC/
Good luck and continue your research!

Jane Alvarado

I would spend some time doing "informational interviews" with professionals who are in careers that interest you. This is a great way to get a glimpse into what a day in the life of this individual is like and understand their path to get where they are currently. Explore LinkedIn and your personal networks to see if there are family members or friends of friends who are in jobs that interest you - then reach out and ask for a quick call or coffee! Most people will spare ~15 minutes to talk about themselves and help someone out :)
I like the ideas about personality tests too. Another option is to explore an entry-level position as a generalist in an industry that interests you. Doing something administrative or in project management - it's a great way to get exposure to an industry before completely diving in.

A good idea is to take a personality test / career test to see what your strengths and weaknesses are. Then finding a field that accentuates those.
