Answer 1

Pick something you are most interested in combined with that you can make it for living.

Answer 2

When I did my internships in college one of the people i worked for reccomended that i interview all the different people in the office. This was a great way for me to learn more about thier job, how they came to be doing that job, what they liked and didnt like about it, what qualifications were needed etc. It was very helpful in narrowing down my potential future jobs. I would reccomend interviewing people in fields that you are interested in. Most professionals, if you contact them, are more than willing to set aside some time to talk to you and give you the benefit of thier experience. It could also be a great way to network for future employment. Just remember to be respectful of the people and thier time...come prepared and take it seriously!

Answer 3

Sometimes we fall into things we hadn't planned on. If you plan on going to college, study what you enjoy and what interests you. No matter what field you get into you'll have to start at the bottom and as you learn more you'll be able to narrow your interest as to what you'd like to do more of and what you want to do less of. Things have a way of working themselves out, and sometimes completely unrelated jobs and experience wind up helping you land that perfect job eventually. (sorry that's probably NOT much help...but it's worked for me)

Answer 4

It really depends on what you want to do. What are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing and what are you good at? Think about those questions and maybe that will help.
