High schooler that cant decide on a career path

It is very hard to have a crystal ball about what will constitute a “good” standard of living so many years from now. So many kids majored in one of the energy/oil and gas engineering fields because it was high paying - and then graduated into an energy 'glut" when companies were laying off engineers left and right. Ditto aerospace engineering.

If you could predict the market a few years from now, you wouldn’t need to work for a living.
