Do you have a favorite subject in school? Maybe it’s science or math. Or perhaps you prefer reading or art. Or it could be anything that involves a computer.

Whatever you excel at is a good starting point for thinking about a future career. There are literally hundreds of occupations you may want to consider.

For example, if you’re good at science, you may want to become an engineer or a pharmacist. If reading is your favorite activity, you might want to become a librarian or a writer.

If you love computers, you might become a website manager or a database administrator.

Once you determine your bailiwick (see definition below), you’ll be in a great position to think about your future!
