Hi! I’m an upcoming grade 12 student taking ABM, but I’ve been feeling pulled towards a totally different career path lately. Even though I get really good grades (Even in the top 5 of my batch) in all my business subjects, I just know deep down I don’t want to work in that field long-term. I’ve realized the business world just isn’t really for me.

Lately I’ve been looking at three courses that seem to line up with what I like: BSSPL, BSOT, and BSSW. But I can’t decide which one is the best fit for me

I’m looking for a course that checks all these boxes:

1. Lets me help other people (my top prio!!! i love being able to help others🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️)
2. Is in demand, and has good chances of letting me work abroad after I graduate
3. Isn’t just all reading and studying textbooks (I want actual field work, real-world experience, hands-on stuff, etc)
4. Has reasonable work hours and pays decently
5. Doesn’t involve too much science or math… ik this sounds so silly but I’m just not a STEM girlie 😭

I know I might struggle with these courses at first (maybe not in SW since I heard it’s more on HUMSS subjects (?) and I’m okay with that), since I’m from ABM and we barely cover science-related subjects. Like I mentioned earlier, I’m not a STEM girlie 😭😭 I did get good grades in subjects like math and science back in junior high, but that was just from memorizing and cramming for tests. I actually don’t enjoy learning them at all.

However, if I end up picking a course I actually love, I’m totally down to put in the work and learn everything I need to, even if it’s not my favorite thing 🙆‍♀️!!!!

To anyone who can help out—whether you’re a Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Social Worker, or just have experience with these courses/careers—I have a few questions I really need answers to:

1. What was your overall college experience like? Were most subjects science or theory-based, or did you get lots of field work and hands-on activities?
2. How’s your career going right now? Do you work for the government, abroad, in a hospital, or somewhere else?
3. Since I’m currently in ABM and not STEM or HUMSS, will I need to take bridging courses? Do you think I’ll have a hard time keeping up because of my academic background?
4. Out of these three courses, which one do you think fits me best? Or should I just stick to a business-related course instead? I’m doing pretty well in those right now, and maybe I’ll end up liking it more later on?

Please please please I need your help 😭😭😭 Thank you so much!!! 💗💗
