It's perfectly normal to feel uncertain about your future, especially as a high school student. If you currently lack a specific interest or passion, focus on exploring a variety of subjects and experiences to discover what might resonate with you. Take diverse courses, join different clubs, and participate in various extracurricular activities to expose yourself to new fields. Volunteering and part-time jobs can also provide valuable insights and help you develop skills.
Consider speaking with a school counselor or career advisor who can guide you through career assessments and offer personalized advice based on your strengths and preferences. Remember that it's okay to take time to explore and that your interests might evolve as you gain more experiences. Stay open-minded and proactive in seeking opportunities, and don't pressure yourself to have everything figured out immediately. Your path will become clearer with time and exploration

What year are you in high school?
I didn't know in either, like many others. I majored in math because I enjoyed it. My junior year I switched to English literature. I accepted a first job in the actuarial department of an insurance company.
You have time and can change course along the way. I've been a massage therapist since '89 and love it.
Best wishes!

Henry, I had no idea what I wanted to do at your age. I did have a strong interest in a few subjects but was not at all sure how those interests might translate into actual paid work. I have met individuals who from a young age have either been encouraged (by family or mentors) to follow a certain path in life or simply have a definite sense for themselves what they want. It is probably more common for students to be in a period of exploration. I can't imagine you have gotten this far without figuring out what you enjoy- whether related to academics or not. Perhaps you like cooking, reading, sports, animals, music, spending time with friends. How about starting small and taking a holistic perspective. Go beyond the subjects you have to learn in high school as they can be limiting. When you imagine life beyond graduation, do you picture going to school? Take a look at what schools are located nearby- see what programs they offer, ask to sit in on a few classes and talk with students. If you are not a fan of school settings, consider alternatives like learning a trade. If unable to commit, get out there and take a job- any job! Sometimes we find out about our preferences by doing. Give yourself time to figure this out. It may take months. It may take years. Life is like this- a constant shifting around the things we need to do and the things we want to do. Sometimes these things intersect and align; sometimes they remain separate. There are some amazing ways to travel and see other parts of the country or the world! WWoofing is a volunteer farming organization in the US and Worldwide. You do not need experience to take part other than a definite enthusiasm for the outdoors. The US Peace Corp is a two-year commitment where you volunteer your time doing any number of activities such as construction, education, programming, and more. You may find yourself stationed in one of sixty countries doing hands-on work for a small rural community. It can be a life-changing experience, from what I understand. These are just a few options if you have wanderlust and might benefit from extra time to decide what is next (for you). Do some outside the box thinking! Too often 'we' stay inside the box, and this can limit us in looking it all the other possibilities! The people I know who are most satisfied with their careers, have taken non-traditional routes, following one bread crumb after another. They set aside the pressure to conform and took risks, not knowing how each risk might pay off in the end. If you can start with one crumb, the rest will follow. Have faith!

Henry, it's important to realize that feeling unsure about your future is not only normal but also a completely valid part of being a high school student. This is a time in your life that calls for introspection, exploration, and most importantly, patience. Here are some encouraging thoughts that might help you:
- Rethink "passion" and "interest": Interests often blossom gradually through exposure and experience, rather than springing up suddenly. Concentrate more on being curious and open, rather than finding an immediate, intense passion.
- Broaden your horizons: Try out a variety of subjects, activities, and experiences. Attend career fairs, shadow professionals in their jobs, or volunteer in different fields. The aim is to uncover what sparks your interest, even if it's just a little.
- Recognize your strengths: Think about the subjects or activities where you naturally excel or feel most at ease. Take into account feedback from teachers, friends, and family about your abilities.
- Reflect on your values: What matters to you? How do you see yourself making a difference in the world?
- Think in terms of broad fields rather than specific careers: Instead of zeroing in on a particular job, explore general areas like "working with people," "solving problems," or "being creative."
- Welcome the journey of self-discovery: It's perfectly fine not to have everything figured out while still in high school. Many successful people have changed their paths multiple times before finding the right one.
- Build transferable skills: Concentrate on developing skills like communication, critical thinking, and adaptability, which will be useful no matter what career you choose.
- Ask for help: Reach out to school counselors, teachers, or career advisors. Consider taking personality or aptitude tests for more insights.
- Deal with potential underlying issues: If you're feeling generally unmotivated or indifferent, it might be worth checking if there are mental health issues that need to be addressed. Talking to a counselor or therapist can offer valuable support and perspective.
- Start small: Set achievable goals to explore one new area each month. Celebrate every little thing you discover about yourself.
Remember, Henry, it's absolutely fine, and often advantageous, to start college or a job with an open mind. Many universities provide "undeclared" options for students still figuring out their interests. Some of the most rewarding careers come from the most unexpected places and experiences.
Your current uncertainty is not a weakness, but a chance for growth and self-discovery. Be patient with yourself, stay open to new experiences, and trust that with time and exploration, you'll find paths that truly speak to you.

So what? So you try and learn and work in different professions, and maybe you will like one, maybe you won't. As you get out into the world and talk to people that are mid 50s and under, you will find many people who worked in all kinds of different professions. In other words, unless you are really lucky or it somehow just works out, you will more than likely end up in several professions. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are going through the toughest times of your life right now. If you don't end up being the worlds greates athlete, or the riches person, you are not alone.

Hello Henry,
Let me reassure you that there is something you can do goodly and personally. You have just to follow your PASSION and be motivated.
While you are still a student, I'm sure that there are subjects that you like or appreciate. Try to single out these subjects and think about jobs or professions related to them. For instance, maybe you like or master Mathematics, why not to become an engineer, a pilot or a Maths teacher.
Follow your PASSION and dream big. Your future profession should be something that you love. So check well your school subjects, your hobbies, your professional and personal activities, there is surely something that motivates, inspires and pushes you to work hard in order to achieve it.
God put in every human something particular. So, Henry, there is something that you can do well than others. Thence, find it, dream big, read more and work hard to accomplish this particular PASSION you have inside you
God bless you,

Hi, Henry! It's completely normal to feel lost and uninspired when it comes to choosing a major or future career path. High school can feel like a pressure cooker, and the idea of committing to a specific path for the rest of your life can be daunting! Here's how to navigate this feeling:
1. Acknowledge Your Feelings & Ditch the Pressure:
* It's okay to not know, because most people don't have a burning passion at 16 or 17. It's okay to feel confused and explore different options.
* Ignore the "find your passion" narrative, society often pressures us to have a clear, life-long passion, but that's not realistic. Interests can evolve, and your passion can grow as you learn and experience new things.
2. Explore and Discover:
* Take a wide range of classes, i am sure you don't limit yourself to subjects you think you "should" like. Dive into new areas you haven't explored before, be it art, science, or a language. You might discover hidden talents!
* Join clubs, volunteer, take workshops. See what makes you feel energised and engaged, even if it's just for a short period.
3. Focus on Your Strengths & Values:
* What are you good at? Think about your natural abilities, the things you do well without much effort.
* What are your values? What's important to you in a job? Do you want to help others, make a difference, work with your hands, be creative?
4. Don't Be Afraid to Change Course:
* Many people switch majors or careers later in life. It's okay to try something, see if it's a good fit, and adjust if needed.
* Internships provide real-world experience and can help you refine your career goals.
REMEMBER:
* It's a process, not a race, just give yourself time to explore, learn, and discover your interests.
* Talk to your parents, teachers, guidance counsellors, or career advisors. They can offer support and advice.
* Don't be afraid to be curious, because The more you learn and experience, the better equipped you'll be to find a path that fulfils you.
This may feel overwhelming, but know that you're not alone! Many people go through this process. The key is to be open to exploration, embrace the unknown, and trust that you'll find your way eventually. Good luck! With love, Darya

Hello Henry,
Good question!
It’s completely normal to feel uncertain about your future, especially in high school when there’s so much pressure to figure things out. Many people don’t have a clear passion or career path early on, and that’s okay. Instead of focusing on what you're passionate about, try to explore areas you’re curious about or activities you find even mildly interesting.
Here are some ways to help you move forward:
1. Try New Things: Take different classes, join clubs, or try hobbies that expose you to new experiences. This might help you discover something you enjoy without the pressure of needing to commit.
2. Focus on Strengths: Think about subjects or skills you’re good at. Even if you’re not passionate about them, strengths can guide you toward careers where you’ll likely succeed.
3. Talk to Others: Speak with family, friends, teachers, or career counselors about their jobs or experiences. Sometimes hearing others' stories can spark ideas or give you a sense of direction.
4. Explore Careers with Flexibility: Consider careers that offer variety, flexibility, or room to grow in different directions. Fields like business, technology, healthcare, or even general studies can give you a broad base and allow you to specialize later.
5. Take Your Time: You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. Many people change their major in college or even switch careers later in life. Focus on taking small steps toward what feels like progress, even if it's not a grand passion yet.
How do you feel about exploring one or two areas just out of curiosity, even if they don’t feel like a “passion” yet?
Remember, finding your passion or purpose is a journey, not a destination. It may take time and exploration to discover what you're truly interested in. The most important thing is to keep an open mind, be patient with yourself, and seek guidance along the way.
Best wishes!

Hello Henry!
Understanding Lack of Interest in Career Choices
It’s not uncommon for high school students to feel uncertain about their future career paths, especially when they lack specific interests or passions. This situation can be daunting, but it is important to recognize that many individuals experience similar feelings at various stages of their lives. Here’s a step-by-step approach to understanding and addressing this issue.
1. Self-Reflection and Exploration
The first step in identifying potential career paths is self-reflection. Consider the following questions:
What subjects do you enjoy in school, if any?
Are there activities outside of school that you find engaging, even if they don’t seem like traditional career paths?
Have you had any jobs or volunteer experiences that you found fulfilling?
Taking time to reflect on these questions can help uncover hidden interests or skills. Additionally, exploring different fields through internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work can provide valuable insights into what you might enjoy.
2. Personality Assessments
Utilizing personality assessments can be beneficial in identifying potential career options that align with your traits and preferences. Tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) or the Holland Code (RIASEC) can offer guidance by categorizing your personality type and suggesting compatible careers. These assessments are designed to highlight strengths and preferences that may not be immediately apparent.
3. Researching Career Options
Once you have some insights from self-reflection and assessments, begin researching various careers. Look into job descriptions, required qualifications, daily responsibilities, and growth opportunities within different fields. Websites like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook provide comprehensive information about various professions, including salary expectations and job outlooks.
4. Seeking Guidance from Professionals
Engaging with a career counselor or mentor can provide additional support during this exploration phase. They can offer personalized advice based on your unique situation and help you navigate the decision-making process more effectively.
5. Trying New Things
Sometimes the best way to discover interests is through experimentation. Consider enrolling in elective courses at school that pique your curiosity or joining clubs related to different fields (e.g., science club, debate team). Participating in extracurricular activities can expose you to new experiences and potentially spark an interest in a particular area.
6. Setting Small Goals
If committing to a major feels overwhelming, start by setting small, achievable goals related to exploration rather than making immediate decisions about your future profession. For example:
Attend a workshop related to a field you’re curious about.
Read books or articles on topics that intrigue you.
Network with professionals in various industries through informational interviews.
These small steps can gradually build confidence and clarity regarding your interests.
7. Accepting Uncertainty
Finally, it’s essential to accept that it’s okay not to have everything figured out right now. Many people change their majors or career paths multiple times throughout their lives as they grow and learn more about themselves and the world around them.
In summary, while feeling disinterested in potential careers can be challenging, it is possible to navigate this uncertainty through self-reflection, exploration of new experiences, research into various fields, seeking professional guidance, and setting manageable goals.
Top 3 Authoritative Sources Used:
1. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
The BLS provides extensive data on occupational outlooks across various professions including job responsibilities, salary ranges, education requirements, and employment trends which are crucial for informed career decision-making.
2. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI is a widely used personality assessment tool that helps individuals understand their personality types and how these relate to potential career choices based on psychological theories developed by Carl Jung.
3. Holland Code (RIASEC)
The Holland Code framework categorizes people into six personality types related to work environments which aids individuals in identifying suitable careers based on their interests and skills.

It's okay to not know exactly what you'd like to do. Take it one step at a time. My best advice is to ask yourself - "when is the last time I completely lost track of time?" (hopefully beyond social media or gaming :) ).
Once you answer that question, spend time trying to identify why you lost track of time. What are the characteristics of that activity that allowed you to be so focused and immersed in what you were doing? Was it that you were solving a problem? Making something creative? Helping someone else? These little insights are a good starting point to then consider what your next steps should be - a class, job or experience that aligns to that characteristic(s).
Good luck on your next steps!
