Here's the first step for high school students
When choosing your post-secondary path, pick something that you're interested in but know that you have the ability to change paths if it ends up not being right. There's no rule that says you must know exactly what you're going to do for the rest of your life. As you build opportunities and experience new things, you're bound to change your trajectory a bit. Trying all of the things you can and gaining as many experiences as possible will help you figure out what's best for you.
