HELP!! I don't know what career to choose and I am in the 12th grade. I know by now I should know but I don't please someone help omg. Im not really that good or interested in only one subject. I have always had good grades in basically all of my classes and don't really prefer one more than the other, so it is really hard for me to choose. I don't know what career to choose, all I know is that I don't want to be police, firefighter, in the army, or a doctor, but I seriously have no clue it's really stressing and worrisome. Also I am really an interpersonal type of person and I am really shy I wis I wasn' but I am.

Talk to a high school counselor about taking an aptitude test. It scores your strengths and suggests some jobs that might be good fits with your answers. It may give you some options to look into.

I'm not sure what you mean by computer engineer, whether you mean programming or troubleshooting, for example.

Try not to get overwhelmed with stress about this; I know it's hard, though. You are doing the right thing to learn more about what a specific job entails before you commit. Have you already been accepted to a college or university? Sometimes you can get an early appointment with a counselor in a given program to learn more about their degree options and what might fit you.
