Tips, websites, books

Thank you comment icon Take advantage of electives offered in high school to help narrow down your options. Try to focus on areas of interest and then identify classes, clubs, and faculty members in those areas that you can join and consult with in order to build a network of support. When available, volunteer or join internships in areas of interest. Stephanie Cacciabando

Jay’s Answer

Echoing other answers above, i.e., give some serious thoughts to (1) what you're interested in, (2) what you're good at, and (3) what others think you're good at. Hopefully overlapping paths will emerge. Also there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to picking your major, so explore, give it a shot, and see what happens :) Keep in mind luck will play good portion of your career path too. Best of luck!

Hema’s Answer

I would approach this based on your passion and interest.

Find out what you are good at - and interested in -- See what you can do once you complete take that major and if that is what you want to do - then definitely take that major.

For Eg. Bio major can go in healthcare and a business major can think about working in banking/financial industry.

Rebecca’s Answer

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 what you have interest, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers
Eg if you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music composer, music producer, 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 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!
