This might not be the best community for this, but I don’t know what job I want after high school. I’m afraid of pursuing a job that I’ll end up hating. How do I figure out what job I want when I grow up?

Are you in Quebec? The CEGEP system there is specifically a great and cheap way to try out multiple career paths. It's like a mix of trade school and the freshman year of every university faculty.

It's still a system that sort of pushes you into university without any experience of what doing a real job is like, but it's at least a good way to explore the academic side of a wide variety of subjects.

On the bright side, if you're interested in paleontology, the prairies are a pretty neat place to be! The Burgess Shale is pretty cool.
