Nathaniel’s Answer

There are many parts to finding what you are really either good at so anywhere is a good place to begin. Know if you re a team player or prefer to work alone. Working with the public is a good thing to know. Many companies have career days to allow a few students to get a taste of what the company does. I'm a chiropractor but I had a long journey of jobs before I settled on this. Many were focused on health care from being a trainer on my high school's football team to surgical assistant to emergency room tech. to nursing to director of a spinal cord injury rehab. center, personal trainer...... all gave me a part of the picture of what I wanted. You don't need to figure all this out immediately, but be willing to explore just who you really are and what brings you joy.

Sreevalli’s Answer

Passion is what drives everyone .Deep diving into your thoughts ,recollecting your likes and dislikes from Childhood or Teenage.
Filter out what you were good or best at and what were those aspects which seemed like never ending obstacles.
Coming back to the present ,you could research and see what careers match your interests and passions and go on from there.

Sreevalli recommends the following next steps:

Brain storm your passions.
Make a list of Good ,Better, Best and Worst.
Rule out those that seem the least fit or the Worst.
Research the Job Market .
Choose the Subject or Career that matches your list of Good,Better,Best.

EZINNA EDGE’s Answer

The best way to explore what you are interested in... is by "action". For example, if you are interested in basketball, take up a basketball practice and join a team ASAP!

If you start now and discover you don't like it, there will be an opportunity to change it before the future comes.

The exploration begins now and never be afraid to make mistakes. There is no best time to start exploring whatever it is you want to do in future than now.

Your future is calling you already; pick up!

Goodluck!

Priscilla’s Answer

Hello Vy,
I've been in multiple roles in my life (I'm in by 40s now). I started in IT, then HR, and now I work as Product Manager in a Financial institution (I graduated from Business Administrator, which is an amazing way to keep your options open - HR, Marketing, Finance, etc).
People change as they progress in life. Something that motivates and interest you may not be the same 20 years from now. So I would say keep your mind and your eyes open. Don't get too worried about having to choose one career and thinking that you need to stick with that. As long as you're growing (more senior positions, compensation, or personal achievement), you're good.
