Which subject(s) did/do you enjoy most in school/college?

Have you ever seen or heard about somebody's job and thought to yourself "Wow I really want to do that!" ? (Maybe reading some job profiles will help: https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/job-profiles/home )
•
Do you have any hobbies which might lean towards a particular type of career/degree? (Sometimes the best career you could choose might be getting paid for doing something that you'd otherwise enjoy in your spare time - for example, someone who enjoys health & fitness might enjoy a career in Physiotherapy)
•
What are the things in life which make you feel happy about being alive? Is it a hobby? being around people? holidays/events/trips? volunteering and helping people? solving hard problems/puzzles? doing something artistic and creative? Getting involved in business/politics? having lots of money and living a high lifestyle? Even if you couldn't get a career out of it, you might be able to study something related to that.

Has anybody (either someone you know, or on a TV Programme /Film/book) ever inspired you to want to learn more about a subject which you find fascinating? (Not everything has to be about jobs..)
