[SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school? (lemmy.ca)

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?

First of all it's not set in stone. You just need some kind of point to dive in.

work out roughly what kind of thing you like
work out what you're good at
look for something that's in both those zones
try and pick training for it that will translate over a few different things
once you're in training you will get a better sense of what you want to do.
