Hi, Amy! It's completely normal not to have a clear career path in high school, and many students find themselves in the same position as you. Here are some points to keep in mind:
-Self-Exploration, use this time to explore your interests, strengths, and passions. Take classes in different subjects, participate in extracurricular activities, and consider internships or part-time jobs to gain exposure to various fields.
-Research different career options. Understanding the types of roles available and the skills required can help you identify areas that excite you.
-Talk to teachers, parents, school counselors, and professionals in fields that interest you. They can provide insights and advice based on their experiences.
- Many students enter college without a declared major and explore different subjects before committing to a specific path. College can offer you the chance to discover new interests and refine your goals.
-Remember that many people change careers multiple times in their lives. It's okay if you don't have everything figured out right now. What’s important is to focus on your growth and education.
-Rather than feeling pressured to make a decision, focus on gaining experiences and skills that will be valuable no matter what career you eventually choose.
Ultimately, it's about exploring, being open to opportunities, and allowing your interests to develop over time. Don't rush the process - it's a journey of discovering what aligns best with your values and aspirations. I guess this pieces of advice would help you. Good luck! With love. Darya
