Hey Kate

 

It's really good that you know what areas you prefer and have more interest in.  That's the first step in identifying exactly what you might want to study or do as a career later on.  

 

The next thing to do is talk to your Career councillor at school to brainstorm about potential areas/uni courses that you could study. I would also have a look at university websites or their undergraduate guides.  Each uni has one of these and generally includes all of there courses.  They are generally organised by the universities Faculties/Teaching areas e.g. at Curtin there's the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

 

Really you're at the point in time where it would help to have a look and read up on certain uni courses in areas that you're interested in. This way you can find out more about potential careers, what the uni course includes and more.  This way you will know more information about respective courses and potential careers and make the best decision that's right for you.

Science lab work - medical, agricultural or chemical processing. Mining, geology and geophysics. Nursing and physiotherapy can be a bit sciencey and there are always jobs all over the world. Many people pursue a degree in a particular subject without a clear goal - often they end up working in management or teaching, which can be stable and if suited to your personality may even be enjoyable. If you prefer the economics, banking and finance, accounting, running businesses and charities, investment management or, again, teaching - particularly if you want to travel the world any business studies would equip you for teaching business English.
