General education gives you exposure to many fields, both content and process, and the foundations of many fields. Getting your education gives you a chance to explore the fields and see what you like and what you’re good at. That will offer you the best clues to a career direction, especially if you have the guidance of some experienced teachers and counselors.

What you like and what you’re good at: those are the keys, no matter what they may be. Every field of study leads somewhere, even the ones that don’t seem to have practical uses. They do.
