How can I best explore my interests to pursue a fulfilling career path as an undecided student? What steps can I follow to ensure that my education is worthwhile in the long run in terms of finding a well-paying career I am passionate about?
I am a senior in high school and am currently enrolled in a 4-year university that I will attend this upcoming academic year. I am all over the place in what career I want to follow in the future. First I had an interest in law for the longest time, then throughout high school I was set on working in sports media/management, and just recently I have taken an interest in pursuing physical therapy. So clearly, I am all over the place in what I have an interest in when it comes to career paths. I feel way behind my peers as they are already super passionate and set on what they want to do in life. I am going into college undecided but my worry is how I will be able to figure out what I want to do within the next few years. While being able to receive a great education, I want to make sure that it is worth it and I find something I am passionate about and can make a great career out of.
