fear of not deciding the right career path

I feel like the idea of picking a labour to make a living isn’t spoken about enough. It’s so strange to me, but thats a conversation for another day.
I’d like to ask a question to anyone who sees this alongside advice. When does this confusion on finding a career for you end?
I attended a school that has high standards and sometimes expectations are also high those that chose art and creative subjects are labelled idiots and many who choose careers in money and other things are deemed “more sophisticated”. I think the idea that they’ll make more month based on what GCSE they’ve picked really seems to be holding a weird hierarchy over everyone.
That if you don’t have a fancy sounding GCSE there’s no success. And that kind of creates fear for for me, i picked psychology and design tech only because i genuinely like creativity but also designing is needed in daily life, but im mostly questioned why i picked it and not something like business or economics.
Like most people, i’d hope to be successful in a nice career but with all this negativity surrounded here it gets suffocated and really affects my goals ahead.
I’ve never really had a clue where I’d end up, but now that GSCE szn bas begun for us it’s making me think of my future outside secondary school.
So, does this doubt ever leave?

I think as you advance through GCSEs, A levels and university (if you decide) it can almost at times seem even more confusing at times. As a final year uni student my best advice is to block out the noise of those who are questioning your decisions and follow a path that you find enjoyment and passion in. This will help you lay the foundations to do well academically and you really don’t need to figure it out straight away! The GCSEs you are doing already hold endless opportunities and if you decided to further develop any of them you’ll see high salary opportunities. I did a GCSE in design and engineering, something I’ve never used since but also highlights I enjoyed innovation and creativity which was useful to talk about in interviews etc! I only decided what I wanted to do at the start of my final year, I chose a course I knew had transferable skills but also something I enjoyed and could further develop in a graduate role and for the vast majority of my degree I thought I’d start over one graduated. I’m now searching for related graduate positions, I think what I’m trying to say is your mind will change so much but trust the process and put your happiness before any of the other worries as you’ll likely be in that career for at least a couple of years
