One of the most critical steps involved in making course and career choices is self-awareness. This refers to the extent to which you know yourself. By developing an understanding of yourself, you are in a better position to research and select a career and course that you will enjoy and will be successful at. What are your skills and aptitudes? \nWhat are your interests? \nWhat are your values? \nWhat is your personality? \nWhat factors do you need to consider when making your course/career decision?  \nIn order to make good career decisions, you need to be aware of the current labour market trends. That is, knowing what is going on within your industry of interest. \n \nOccupational description \nWork conditions \nSalary/Income \nJob openings \nSkill requirements \nTraining requirements \nFuture projections of employment prospects \n\n\nBy gaining a realistic view of the current labour market you are in better position to make decisions about course and career options. Sometimes there are large discrepancies between job or course titles and the reality of the nature of the work and employment prospects. Being aware of employment opportunities, salaries, training requirements, and key tasks and duties associated with particular occupational groups will help you make an informed decisionOnce you have a better understanding of yourself as a person and the latest labour market trends, you are ready to start identifying what career path is for youStep 1 \nNarrow down your list of occupations of interest so that you can explore a manageable number, such as 3 to 6. \n\n\nStep 2 \nConsider how each occupation fits with your values, interests, personality and skills \n\nStep 3 \nFind out more information about each occupation so that you can you can make a better decision. There are two ways to get more information about occupation's that interest you:

Unfortunately passions don't always translate well into careers.  If you are about to finish college, then I would suggest trying out a few jobs and see which ones fit you.  There is no reason why you must choose a job and stick with it for the rest of your life.  Once you have a good idea what the jobs are really like (and they are almost never what you imagine them to be) then you can settle into a career.  But always remember that you should love your job, if you hate it, you need a different job (not necessarily a different career, just a different job).  And it's ok to not be able to make up your mind, your life ends up being more interesting.  And you can politely remind everyone to mind their own business, it's your life and you have to live it.

I don't know her, but I will help you as much as I can.\n\nWhat will help her make her career decision is for her to know what she is good at (ex. music, science, working with computers) and what she likes to do (ex. sewing, helping others, cooking). Using these pieces of information, she can use them to help her decide. Soem examples are below:\n\n-If she likes sewing or is good at sewing, she could decide she wants to be one of those people who make clothes\n-If she likes Physics or is interested in space, she could decide to be an astronomer\n-If she likes and is good at music, she could decide to be a music teacher\n-If she likes cooking, she could decide to be a chef at a restaurant\n-If she likes writing stories, she could decide to be an author\n-If she's good at math and science, she could decide to be an engineer\n\nGet it?

First off, you will need to choose a career path. Nobody on this board can tell you which path to choose that has to come from you. Remember that you are choosing a career, so choose the path that will make you the happiest both in the short and the long term. This includes picturing where you will be 5-10 years down the line.\n\nOnce you have chosen a career path, never stop educating yourself in that field. For example if you are a programmer, continue to learn the newest and most sought after languages, i.e., web services, J2EE etc.\n\nFinally it sounds as if your career at your present company is butting up against a dead end. I would reccomend that you start looking for a new place to work that can help further your career and bring excitement to your day. Keep the old job until you find something then make the leap.\n\nGood luck in whatever path you take...

You can't just pick a career and intelligence is only one factor, what do you have the personality for, good with people, good alone, good under pressure, good with tedium, good with delegation, these are all factors. All you can do is educate yourself  as much as possible and try different things

You are very lucky to have such broad interests. They will help you enjoy your studies no matter what your major is. The best way I know to choose a major is start taking classes. No matter what major you choose or what college you attend you will need to take general education classes. You will need maths, science, social sciences, history, English, probably a foreign language, etc. Once you start taking these introductory courses you will learn more about that field of study. If something appeals to you take an upper level course in that subject. Also visit your college's career center. They will have assessments that you can take to help you discover what careers are best suited for your interests. They should also have resources there that will allow you to see what careers are expected to have openings and what to expect. Finally, volunteer and/or do an internship. The best way to learn about a career is to try it out. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, meet people in the field, and find out what you are good at. Good luck to you.

if i were you i would visit a career center on a local college campus.  you shouldnt base your major on a subject that you dont like, but rather on a subject you DO like.  a career center can give you tests that take your interests and put them into a career that is taylored to what you enjoy doing.\n\nalso - just a heads up... ALLLLLLL majors require 2-3 math classes, so just do what you like... if you are spending the time to get a degree, get one that you want.  make sure that you are picking something that you want to do :)\n\ngood luck!

Call your local community college and make an appointment with a guidance counselor.  There are preference tests you can take to narrow down your areas of interest.\n\nAlso, you might consider doing some volunteer work.  A lot of people discover their passions that way.

Make a list of your talents. Then make a list of your passions and what you love. Then choose the best field that will allow you to utilize your favorite talents in something you love. (e.g. Bob is a good observer and very analytical. Bob loves being outdoors. He loves nature and trying to name all the plants he sees. - Bob studies ecology, biology, etc and becomes an plant biologist at a nature center).\nMost importantly choose a major you absolutely love learning about! Not about which will make you the most money, etc.

Explore different things, and ask as many successful old people who you respect for their opinions (just like you are doing here!).  Your interests will change as you evolve.  The more varied experiences you can have, and the more advice you get from different people, the better your choices will be.  Think of what you'd really like to do most, and take small steps in that direction, learning what it takes to get there.  Be glad if you learn you want to do something different, that's part of the process of learning.  Many people change professions and careers -- especially the most sucessful of people.  Good luck!!

Have you decided what you want to do as a career - if so that will probably determine what GCSEs you need to take.  If you're not at all sure about what you want to do why don't you speak to your local careers advisor.  If you look on the internet you should find your local careers scheme.  Good luck.
