Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you have already started to consider your future career path now. The most important is to find out what careers you have interest.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you like music, would you like to be a musician, musical artist, singer, music composer, music producer, etc.
If you have interest in maths, would you like to be 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 your mentor, school career counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 career 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!

Dear Wendy,
Here's my journey:
I may not have taken the most conventional route, but it was my emotions, particularly after experiencing losses in the family, that guided me.
As a shy nine-year-old in 1966, I was home from school one day when I happened to watch a science presentation by Professor Julius Sumner-Miller on TV. His approach to public speaking resonated with me, and soon I was being borrowed by other teachers to give science lectures to their classes.
Fast forward to 1972, I was introduced to computer programming cards in my grade 11 physics class. This sparked my interest in programming. That same year, I lost my uncle, who was only 38. Despite the doctors' best efforts, they couldn't revive him.
In 1976, my uncle's former academic supervisor began teaching biochemistry at our newly established university. This prompted me to switch my major from mathematics and physics to biochemistry and organic chemistry.
Rather than pursuing medicine, I found myself assisting natural therapists. Guided by a renowned local medical expert, I delved into the study of nutritional medicine. Then, my father passed away from a severe heart attack. This propelled me to study dietetics, although it was too late to help my relatives. Over the next 35 years, I consulted with thousands of patients.
In 1994, a patient expressed dissatisfaction with the standard nutritional education materials provided by dietitians, which were usually a one-day sample food menu. She found it challenging to decipher what to eat, even with food group exchange lists.
So, I developed software to design two-week food menus. The program used the client's data, such as sex, height, age, weight, to compile a personalized food menu. I've continued to develop my programming skills and have been working on the Diet Wizard since 1994. You can check out my work on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/yimi90125/videos.
Best,
JC.
