Hi Amisha,
Often times we miss out on some of our strengths and people around us notice them more. I would suggest you do a survey of what your biggest strengths and weaknesses are, and what they think you will be very successful at - and send this survey to family, friends, teachers and classmates. You will be surprised to see a pattern emerging in their responses.
In the Corporate world this is known as 360 degree feedback and it can be quite an eye opener. It tells us what we are good/ bad at and might not even know it, and it guides how we should shape our career going forward.
Another great way of trying out careers is through internships or volunteering activities. It gives you an inside view of that industry and will give you the information to decide whether you want to do this long term or not.
Goodluck!

Would you consider to be an engineer? Engineering needs good skills on Maths, Physics, etc. There are many disciplines in Engineering including Electrical & Electronic engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering, etc. Each of these engineering subjects have their own knowledge domain. You can explore more on these subjects and find out what you have interest on.
Alternatively, would you consider to be an architect. This may require maths and design skills .
You can explore more on these careers and find our more details. If you know someone who works in these industries, you can also speak to them and understand how these careers work. Alternatively, you can also seek guidance from career counsellor in your school or your parents.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Hey Amisha!
I may be a little biased, but I think if you enjoy math and you like to solve problems the. You should consider engineering. Engineers typically stay in demand and there is a lot of diverse jobs out there.

I would also try to find some volunteer opportunities in the areas that you are interested in. This is a great way to learn about what you like and what you don't like (both of these are important!) It's also helpful to even reach out to people in different industries that you are interested in and ask them to learn more about their job, and then for them to suggest other people you can speak to as well.
