Future

[Cry Wolf]

I?m a sixteen year old high school student in my senior years who enjoys English rich humanities subjects and possess many low-level TAFE certificates in ICT. However, as the end of my high school career draws closer, I find myself confused about the direction of my future more than ever before in my life.

While many things torment my mind at the moment, the most pressing is what career should I pursue, and in turn, what tertiary education should I take? I?ve considered University studies in Law, Communications and further tertiary ICT studies, with the obvious endgame of turning these into my vocation. Yet I don?t really know what these occupations entail, how to break into any of these industries or even specific the specific jobs I would find in these industries.

So, I turn to you Escapists for advice and opinions on suitable career options. Can you help me make a more informed choice?
