1. What do I Want to Do?

The first step is getting to know yourself and finding out what it is that you like doing. Maybe you love helping other people or maybe you prefer to spend your time cooking. Maybe you’re a fan of dental hygiene or you’re usually the one to organize camping trips.

Liking books better than calculators is one of those sings that you need to start identifying. Oftentimes we ignore the different signs that can help us have a better sense of our academic direction.

2. Take a Test

If you can’t identify any signs of what you like, a career test might be of great help to guide your decision. Lots of platforms and educational institutions offer this type of surveys for free.
