Almost everyone will tell you to follow what you are interested in, which is natural. But people almost never mention that you should also ask yourself what kind of lifestyle you want to live.
Remember that while your job is a large part of your life, beyond your 9-5 is a majority of your time, so what do you want to do with it? What kind of house do you want to live in? What do you need if you want to travel often or if your hobbies are expensive? Would you value working from home or being in the office, or being outside?
You may have a burning desire to do a particular job, but perhaps if you are not as set on a particular line of work, think about what type of job will facilitate the lifestyle that you want, and you will be surprised at what you find!

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what career you should follow. The best career for you is the one that aligns with your interests, skills, and values. Here are some steps you can take to find the right career for you: * Take a personal inventory. What are you passionate about? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your values? Once you have a good understanding of yourself, you can start to narrow down your options. * Research different careers. There are many resources available to help you learn about different careers. You can read online articles, talk to people who work in different fields, or take career quizzes. * Make a list of potential careers. Once you have a good understanding of yourself and different careers, you can start to make a list of potential careers that are a good fit for you. * Research the job market. Not all careers are created equal. Some have more job openings than others, and some pay better than others. It's important to research the job market for the careers you're interested in to make sure there is a demand for your skills. * Get the education and training you need. Most careers require some level of education or training. Once you know what career you want, you can start to figure out what you need to do to get the education and training you need. * Network with people in your field. Networking is a great way to learn more about different careers and to connect with people who can help you get your foot in the door. Choosing a career is a big decision, but it doesn't have to be daunting. By following these steps, you can find the right career for you and start on a path to a fulfilling and successful career. Here are some additional tips for choosing a happy career: * Find your ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason to get out of bed in the morning." It's the intersection of your passion, purpose, profession, and vocation. When you find your ikigai, you'll be more likely to find a career that makes you happy. * Consider your values. What is important to you in a career? Do you want to work for a company that shares your values? Do you want to make a difference in the world? Your values should play a role in your career decision. * Be realistic about your expectations. No career is perfect. There will be challenges and setbacks along the way. But if you're realistic about your expectations, you'll be more likely to find a career that you can be happy with. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. I guess your question is what is the right career for you. You are the best person to answer this question. You think about what you have interest.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favorite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
e.g. If you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical actor, music producer, music composer, etc.
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc.
2. Find out more on these career and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, your parents, school career counsellor, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in the college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
