[SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?
This might not be the best community for this, but I don’t know what job I want after high school. I’m afraid of pursuing a job that I’ll end up hating. How do I figure out what job I want when I grow up?
I went to college for engineering, ended up switching to a math degree.
Figured out I liked computer science while taking CS classes for my math degree, minored in that and planned to be a software engineer.
Realized I don't want to code all day, got offered a sys engineer position.
Figured out DevOps existed a few years into working and now I do that
Most people don't know what they want to do and figure it out as they go. There are a lot of people that picked X for the money and stuck with it and hate their job.
And you can always change career path if something else is seems more interesting at a later time. I did at a relatively late age and know of plenty of other people who did the same. It’s never too late to try something else if the first thing doesn’t works out.
Well, you either know or you don’t. Most people don’t. So you go and try something until it sticks. Going to university as the other commenter said is also a great idea.
