Answer 5

I don't think you need ot have your entire life planned out in high school.  You don't need to make a career decision that is lasting and final.  But you should definitely start thinking about the path you would like to go down.  The classes you take in high school will better prepare you for college or the choices you make later in life.

While you don't need a definite idea of what you want to do, you need to start thinking about your future and where you want to be and how you want to get there.  High school is a formulative time in life.  You develop habits, good or bad.  You start to really grow up, or not.  It can set you up for the rest of your life.  It's best if you have some goals you are working toward, even if you change those in a few years.

Answer 6

That is not so nearly important as taking the right foundational courses that prepare you for college. The least important is math and science-- which is the opposite from what most people think.

Take all the Language Arts (English and Lit) that you can. Take foreign languages and history.

If you don't know how to communicate- biology and Physics will not help you in life.  

Answer 7

It is not. You are not likely to know at your age what kind of career you want, so try to do a lot of varied things so you can see where your interests are. If you have to choose a school pathway based on a career choice, choose the things you enjoy most or the things you are most interested in now. Many people are not able to settle on a career even into their 30's, so don't worry about that quite yet.

Answer 8

So that you can begin the proper preparation for the college you need or want to attend . You need to know where you are going before you can map out the best way . Just wandering around anywhere will get you nowhere ,

Answer 9

So you wont be confuse on the majors you are going to take in college. I have decided to be a doctor, so iam taking Health and Medical Science and Biology.  

Answer 10

It is important to make a career decision while in high school because you can better prepare yourself. For example, say you wanted to go into medicines then you would know that you needed to take biology and chemistry classes vs. taking math class...but if you knew you wanted to be an accountant then you would want to take more math classes and gain as much knowledge as you can about math..

if you take your time during high school to evaluate what you would like to do and what you like to do then you would be able to choose the career more suitable for you personality.

You save time and energy and not to mention money if you know what you would like to pursue as a career in high school.

The more thought you give to your future the better the chances are of it being bright.
