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?

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.
