I suggest you talk to your school's career advisor and perhaps do a test to know which career might fit your personality best :)

Good luck ;)

The world of computers and information technology is one that is always on the move with continual advancements designed to make life easier both in our personal and business lives. These technologies are ones that we have learned to rely heavily on and because of the dramatic rise in demand for this technology over the last couple of decades. I would like to suggest you- Computer Information Systems Degree, Computer Networking Degree, Computer Programming Degree. For more information you may get reference from here http://www.thedegreeexperts.com/online-degree.aspx (http://www.thedegreeexperts.com/online-degree.aspx)

I agree - i think those tests are rubbish - they said I should be a deep sea diver (and I'm scared of the sea...). I think you should have a look at the different job sectors and decide what appeals and what jobs tickle your fancy. This website has a bunch of job profiles to look through and with each job profile they tell you how much they get paid and what qualifications you need.

There's engineering:

I.T and telecommunications:

Energy and Utilities:

Also you should weigh up whether you want to go to uni or whether you could do a vocational course or apprenticeship

Take an Aptitude test first if you are not sure of your carrier.
