But I don’t know what career to go into!

Start with talking to your school counselor – they might be able to point out things you could be interested in. Another option is to take an interest inventory called a Career Finder, go to www.studentaid.ed.gov/myfsa, These surveys give you a list of careers based on your answers of what you like and dislike. Finally, you can use a college search tool on the Student Aid website to find colleges that offer courses of study that might interest you.
