Things to consider:
Think about what YOU like
List your interests (subjects you enjoy, hobbies, topics you like to read/watch) and identify your strengths (skills you’re good at—writing, problem-solving, helping people, building things).
Learn about careers connected to your interests
Research jobs and find out what they do on a daily basis, education or training required, salary, work environment, and industry trends.
Get Support
Talk to adults you know about their jobs (what do you like/dislike?, how did you get started?, what skills matter the most?). Meet with a school counselor, or find a mentor.
Explore through experience
Join clubs related to your interests. Take electives, career-focused classes or certifications; volunteer, job-shadow, apply to internships or summer jobs.
For careers that spark your interest pick a few and explore deeper, keep a career journal or notes doc. Remember that interests change and that is normal, update your goals as you learn more, every experience can teach you different sets of skills (even if its not related to the career path you are interested in the future).
