Hi I'm a high school student and I'm going to university next year. I need more information before I make a decision which courses I should apply for.

That isn't the point of a university/college, unless you are majoring in something like Accounting or Engineering. You are supposed to develop an approach to learning, to be a generally educated person, who has shown a commitment to learning and was willing to put in the effort and time, which is what employers want.

Funny, I really feel that most of what you need in 'real life' you were exposed to in high school. Now, going to college just strengthens that knowledge base. But, I still believe high school was the real start of meaningful info.
If you are not sure what you want to 'do or be', just take all the lower end classes that you will have to take anyway to get any degree.
What I did when I was interested in a job as a career, was to contact a business that had a job I was interested in and called HR to see if they would allow me an 'informational interview'. This is a way to find out what they do, how they do it, and what kind of education I would need if I wanted to pursue this as a career. It did help many times, and once I was offered a job just because the general manager liked my drive and yearning for info. Stayed with that company for four years, and loved the whole time I was there.
Good luck. You do not have to figure out what you are going to be doing when you are sixty today; but it would help if you kinda knew what you were going to be doing when you are twenty-five.

None. I didn't end up doing accounting and being an executive assistant. I do fundraising and will work in restaurants when necessary. I also clean houses for a lady on occasion.

I have used none of my college education in any career I have been in so far. It does not really matter unless you are in a very specialized field.
