How can I find a career path that aligns with my interests and values within its studies and work environment that I could turn into a passionate life career?
I have been searching for a career that I can connect with, and that suits me as a person. It has not been easy because I don't know what it is like to be in these specific careers, and fully committing to an idea that I have for a job does not sit well with me, so I need help finding that career/subject that I love. And it is especially hard when I don't know who I am. I feel like I have no true passions right now, making it hard to find what truly suits me. However, I know that I am a creative person with a strong desire to make a difference in the world through some type of scientific invention, although I would not limit myself to a scientific career. I wouldn't say I like super strict and stressful environments, and I love being able to pursue my own ideas; I enjoy interacting and socializing (but not for too long), I like making things, and one day, I would like to be my own boss. I would appreciate any type of help!

Below are my suggestions:
1. Think about what you have interest, eg your hobbies, favourite subjects, etc and identify the related careers. Alternative, if you would like to become an entrepreneur, these can be the industry you start your business.
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 or industries. 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!
