What High School Classes Should I Be Taking If I Cannot Make Up my Mind On What Career I Want?

Shera M asked:


There is not one carrer I can say I want, which according to my teachers and my parents is imparative even though I am only in the 9th grade.

The problem I am having is I cannot find a career that seems to completly satisfy me. The ones I like are:

Veternarian or Vet Tech
Ultrasound Technologist
Writer
Zookeeper
Lawyer
Kennel Attendant
Chef

They are telling me to make a decision so I can pick my classes. Can I just pick classes that fit into all of the categories?

I want to take:

Culinary Skills
Medical Terminology/CPR-First Aid
Animal Science/Sm. Animal Tech
Speech
Journalism
All the Math, Science, and English I can take

Should I take:

Microbiology/Intro to Health Careers
Intro to Nursing/Human Growth

HOSA- The Health Occupational Students of America Club

Any info you can give me on these careers or what to take to make things eaiser is much appreciated.

Thanks.

    May be you can talk to your career advicer in the school? Since most of your interests are related to healthcare, you can emphasis on science areas, and some business courses.

    Holy crap. Tell them to chill out. Unless you have an inclination to go into engineering, or med school what you choose when you are in 9th grade will not have any impact on your future career. Your life your decisions. You have enough stress tell them to stop heaping on more! High School is when you are trying to figure out what you want. Take a class in everything. You don;t need to decide anything until Junior year and again only if your planning on going into something very specialized. It wil come to you. Biology is a good place to start for any medical profession(even Vet). GL!
