I cant decide what career path to take
I am from south africa and I have been going over this for quite some time, and it has not gotten me anywhere. I have always liked a good mystery and a puzzle so I thought why not become a cop. Then there's this side to me that likes medicine, like since I was little, so I decided OK why not a nurse, because a doctor has to cut people open and I would not be able to do that. Then I always wanted to help people so I thought about becoming a social worker. I am really stuck as to deciding what to do.

First off, I read your question. Relax, being extra passionate about many career paths is normal. I suggest you try taking a Career test. Are you in college?
If yes, you may be able to double major.
If no, look into the following majors as well as the coursework in which will prepare you for that career path (e.g. social work, psychology, psychiatric medicine, human resources management).
If you still are undecided, research some paid expense fellowships, internships that you may be able to try out the work in the field to see if it is something you would want o do long term like 10 to 20 years.
The good news is dreams do not have deadlines. Take your time.
Best of Luck,

Look up Forensics. It is pertaining to police work but on the medicine and mystery side. This is when they get victims who are dead and you by studying certain things, unravel the mystery of how they died, maybe possible areas they died and so on and those clues are then used to help narrow down where to hunt for the killer or prevent further deaths. Yes, you'd be cutting open bodies and exploring all cavities but they are dead if that makes a difference to you. I have heard of poeople whose job is to work with people one on one to discover what their health or non health habits are. I've hread it called a Wellness coach. For those routinely coming up with the same medical issues, you can have the mystery of discovering if it is environmently caused only, maybe an old house, lead paint, bad air, toxic water on tap, what they eat, excercise, and so on. Then you teach them why certain thinss are bad for them and how it contributes to their issues and give them alternatives to use/try.
