Career choices, life help?

I'm currently in high school, and considering post-secondary choices based on my interests and goals. But lately I've done a lot of second guessing and changing my mind. ..I need some opinions and advice.


Fifteen years from now I see myself in a career in an environment where I get to interact with people in a creative manner. Perhaps a business (but more on the aesthetically pleasing side/ not the bland accounting and spreadsheets kind side). My interests include - Media..(but I'm afraid it's just a passing phase) oh and the way people think and expressing my opinions.


Careers that are running strong in my mind right now are


1. Media Specialist 2. Psychology 3. Something in Social Sciences. very general.


I currently live in Ontario Canada, so my post-secondaries would be like U of T or Western or McMaster, etc.


I also have to choose between HS - "Intro to psychology, sociology, anthro(university prep)" OR "Media Studies open" ANY Advice would be appreciated. Thank you

My opinion would be that you take the courses that lead to media specialist. My reasoning is somewhat like this: a specialty in media at this stage would give you a broad understanding of your choices in that field. The field is new and is expanding exponentially. If you do find that it gives you a lot of creative freedom, and room to voice your opinions, great. You will have a head start on your career.


If you find that it is not for you, the basic humanities courses will still have the basic introduction. The introductory courses in this field have more history to cover.
Reply:Well honestly most people change their majors in college on average of 2 times. You are only 15 still in highschool do this enjoy high school. Then as you get closer to graduating start thinking of what you like to do then not now becasue your taste will change. But do your research talk to people in these fields if you can and see what they have to say about it. But the best answer is this "FOLLOW YOUR HEART,DONT LISTEN TO NOBODY ELSE, YOU BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE!
Reply:I know its sooo hard. I'm going through the same motions as I'm going to be a senior this coming school year. I keep changing my mind as well. One thing you have to remember is you can change your mind later. What I plan on doing is taking a few intro classes and staying undeclared for a while. It's good your thinking about it now though, there is no time like the present. Just remember to do what you love. We have to spend so much time at a job, you'll never enjoy your life if half the time your at a job you hate.


As for which class you should take... I'd recommend the one you will like more. I sat in on a few psychology classes and it is pretty interesting stuff.


Anyways, good luck with your goals!
Reply:perhaps architecture, you get to be creative and work in a team and give your advice, plus its aesthetically pleasing to build a beautiful home or building....or maybe you could go into business marketing, you get to come up with creative ideas to sell things, and interact with plenty of people...hope this helps.
