Questions regarding the Future

[MATHEMATICS]

In September, I will be attending grade 12 and i still don't know what i want to go into and what career path i want to take.
Courses that i have chosen:
-advanced functions
-calculus and vectors
-English
-economics
-religion
-biology
-chemistry

How can i "discover" myself and what are my options right now?

I suggest Engineering. If you're studious and can handle that kind of course load (I know I couldn't in grade 12) then definitely engineering. Engineering covers wide amounts of topics and then lets you choose to specialize. Mechanical, Computer, Industrial, Chemical, Aerospace, ETC. You also get a very balanced education because Eng. programs usually have writing and presentation courses.

Business is a good choice too. Marketing, Finance, Management, Accounting.

Any program with opportunity for specialization is a good choice. Otherwise you can take undecided and poke around.

Edit* I just notice no physics but maybe you can add that in your line up?

You can't go wrong with 'skills' types of classes, such as languages.

I was always leaning towards science or business. I just don't know which interests me more.

Languages can only get you into an Arts program.

However, more technical/academic courses like Math, Sciences, etc. can be used to apply for a wider range of courses. And should the OP decide to go into Arts - most Arts faculty will gladly accept these types of courses as well (admissions into Arts tends to be easier).

What part of science do you want to do? What part of business? Both of them are very broad and the skills required for each specialized area are different. Physics is very different from biology. Accounting is very different from marketing.

What do you like doing the most? What are you best at? What skills are needed for the careers you're considering?

[airodus]

Take english since it will be helpful in everything. Most kids these days no talk good.

Well my highest marks are biology and chemistry because they require a good memory. But i can't say i did not try hard to get the marks that i have received (88/87). After that, my third highest mark is math(86).


Can anyone tell me the differences between these: marketing, finance, management and accounting?

What i like/dislike: I do not like doing the same stuff everyday but i like challenges and things that require understanding as well as facing different outcomes. I also want to be able to interact with people on a daily basis and i love fashion.

PS: i do not want to become a doctor.
