Hi, thank you for your question. Many students have similar question. Firstly, you need to find out what careers you have interest.
Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc. and identify the related the careers
Eg if you are interested in music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical actor, music composer, music producer, etc
If you like maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these career. Seek guidance from your mentor, parents, school career counsellor, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of of relevant subjects in the college
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Yi（Zoe)’s Answer
For this question, my opinion is to not think about right now but instead focus your eyes on the next five years. Think about what you most aspire to be when you leave college in a few years, or think about what you most want to get out of college (like a good job, a variety of skills, a diverse culture) or learn when you leave. Let your goals lead the way for you instead of constantly asking, which path should I choose.
Loved reading this, thanks!
