A lot of students don’t really find their area of academic interest until later in high school. Many don’t find theirs until college ( one reason that so many college students change majors). I would encourage your S to try different areas of interest not only in class selection but also in EC’s. An interest in debate could lead to law, an interest in newspaper could lead to journalism, etc.
