It’s funny - the job I now have and even had out of grad school - I didn’t know they existed, til I had them.

That makes life exciting…

Once you are in college you could explore and decide what you like. Right now you need to create a list of affordable schools with a variety of choices.

My two cents is focusing on strong fundamental skills development and staying flexible are good strategies when this far in advance of actually starting a career. And staying flexible definitely has a financial component.
