Can you guide me please?

Hello dear WSO users! Let me introduce myself. I'm a high school senior who's keen on business and economics. I'm quite consent to notice the Oasis, since the rest of the Net was quite like a desert. Long story short, I am curious about the career path in finance. Where can I see myself in the following years? What is the current outlook for it? Can you guide me please?

Your question is pretty broad.

Do you want to find out more information about some of the possible paths in the finance industry?

The WSO FAQ should give you a broad overview, and then you can do a few searches for topics you want to know more about and post up more targeted questions.
