Hi, Im a senior in high school and Im 16. In my Econ class, my teacher asked everyone what they want to do after high school. Everybody said something and I said college even though I wasn't sure about my answer. I really do want to go to university but the problem is that I don't know what to study. My mom really wants me to be a doctor(yes I'm Asian) but I really want to be an artist., but i dont want to go to college just to study art. I'm good at math and I'm also interested in business and law. any idea what I should choose as my career? Or what I should study in college?
