It is important to know what YOU are good at. Not your friends, not your parents or relatives, but you. You need to understand that you shouldn't be under pressure to choose a particular path or career just because your family or friends have said so. You have to do what you are good at. And you will only find out once you know your strengths. Even if you have done poorly, there are career options. Think about what you like.
For example, if all of your friends have decided to take science because they think other streams are not "cool," but you like politics, you are free to choose political science as your topic. Because at the end of the day you will be the one who will be stuck doing a job you don’t like and after a while you won’t even have a chance to quit because it will be too late. You must therefore understand your strengths and weaknesses and choose your career path wisely so that you do not have any regrets later.
