I'm currently conflicted on deciding majors to align with my future career. I feel like everyone around me already knows what their dream life looks like, down to the job. But how do so many people know what they want to do for the rest of their life? It's really important to me that I do a job that I love and can do everyday without always getting tired. I'm willing to do whatever work it takes to get there, and I do have a couple requirements for a "perfect job," but how do people find all these niche jobs that fit them perfectly?
Here are my job requirements if anyone would be so helpful to help me with the next steps in terms of researching careers. It's important to me that I figure something out before college.
I can't be sitting in front of a computer all day (the main reason why I've been avoiding CS, covid ruined this for me)
I have to be able to interact and talk with people everyday (i'm a big people person and love being surrounded by so many interesting people) I also do a lot of business work right now in terms of helping smalll businesses,etc. However, I can't really see myself doing business because i know it's very cutthroat
It has to have some sort of oppurtunity for leadership in which i can have new innovations or work to make a change
I have to be helping people in a way and see the effects of that help too (doesn't have to be immediate!) I love doing nonprofit work in terms of setting up events to support people, fundraising, etc, so I would love to incorporate my passions for this if possible
I want to somehow incorporate a creativity element if possible. I love painting, drawing, graphic design, hands on etc. I consider myself relatively good at these things, and would love to somehow use these skills as well
(Last one, I promise) I am a verryyy expensive person who has a LOT of interests which I would like to fund (guitar, hiking, camping, skydiving, TRAVEL) so I want to be able to financially support whatever lifestyle I wish for myself
Right now, I'm telling everyone that I want to go into medicine. I truly do love learning about the different subject contents and love that I get to help people. However, I know it is a very taxing path and there's not even a guarantee of me getting the speaciality i want. Furthermore, I'm worried about how much of my life i'll miss preparing for med school, residency, rotations, etc. Ideally I wanna be a dermatologist, possibly do a fellowship with something related to skin cancer, open my own clinic. if i were to go that path of course.
Please help me guys!! How do i research career options?
