ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR SKILLS
Knowing your skills and what keeps you going is vital in deciding what career to take. Hence, before anything else, connect with your inner self to determine your personality type, talents, and things you like doing. In addition, identify your strengths, weaknesses, fears, and hopes, as well as your priorities and goals.
FOLLOW YOUR PASSION
When choosing a career, consider what you’re passionate about and your skills. Working on something that you love doing is fulfilling, even in times when it’s challenging. You can also pursue a career based on your skills. It would be great to have a job that matches your skills, personality, and lifestyle. However, this may not be the case all the time. Thus, try to find value in what you do.
INVEST IN YOURSELF
Invest in developing your skills and improving yourself. Be resourceful in finding new ways to hone your capabilities. You can attend training programs and seminars that offer certifications. Doing so prepares you to pursue your desired career. It’s very important that you have a vision of what you want for the future. When you have realistic goals, both short- and long-term, it would be easier to find actionable steps to turn them into reality.
BE OPEN TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Don’t close your doors to opportunities. Even if you’re satisfied with where you are now, it doesn’t hurt to look at the opportunities presented in front of you. You can be happy and content while admiring and looking at the horizons beyond. The road to success is never an easy one. There’ll be ups and downs, especially since a lot is happening around us these days. It might be hard to ignore, but we have no choice but to carry on with our lives. Be flexible enough that whatever life throws at you, you will be ready to catch it and even play dodgeball with it. Whatever circumstance that comes your way, always be ready to face it head on.

Thank you for your question. Many students have similar question. The best career is the career you have interest.

If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc
If you like music, 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 careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counselor, your parents, etc
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hello Fox- When you start to think about your career, at an early age, you may be best served by taking a broad view and getting yourself in the best position in case your passions or directions change.
That’s a mouthful-What does it mean? Let’s say you’re 17 and you love online gaming and want to be a part of that world- as a developer. Or say you love to run track and think your best career may be as a professional athlete or coach. You may find yourself in a far different headspace at 26. Maybe writing all that code isn’t as glamorous as you thought or you realize once you get on a bigger stage your athletic prowess fails to propel you into the area you thought you would thrive in. Along the way, if you focus keeping yourself in the position academically, you will serve yourself well. No matter your passion, there are subsequent fields and a variety of supporting positions that can keep you involved in a career stemming from your passions. Gaming companies need marketing teams, concept/creative teams, accountants, lawyers etc. Athletics careers also include lots of attorneys, doctors, agents, athletic equipment and apparel companies etc.
So in short, find your passions, the things you love to be around and do in your free time, and look at the supporting career fields. A love of track could have you working as a designer for an athletic equipment company or an agent or physical therapist. A love of gaming could see you as a lawyer negotiating Name Image and Likeness deals with young superstar emerging out of high school and college or a movie director or animator.
The answer is find something your good at and find an opportunity for those skills in a field you are excited about-leveraged with a solid educational path that will allow some flexibility down the road if your passions or life should take you into new directions.
Excelsior!
