Our lives beyond the four years of high school are often something people either look forward to or dread. Dreading is usually a result of one question that not everyone knows the answer to.  

What do I want to do after high school? 

For some students, that question is a simple one-word answer; doctor, engineer, animator, psychologist, scientist, astronomer, and so on. For others, that question can be daunting and makes them filled with anxiousness. Not everyone knows exactly what they want to do after our four years are up, which is perfectly fine. That’s what this article is for; helping others find out what job/field they want to go into beyond their fourth year. So, look at the fields and jobs you could have below. If one field or a specific job stands out to you the most—investigate it. See what options you have.  Who knows?  You might just find your dream job.
