Thinking about the right career choice!

I am currently studying in class XI. I like physics, chemistry and computer science. I also liked biology, but the choice was in between bio and computer science, so I chose computer science. I am preparing myself for the competitive exams. I draw very well, and when I was young I dreamed of becoming an animator. I can draw illustrations and comics very well. I also write stories and they get published (sometimes!) in some monthly magazines. So is there any choice of career for me?? Anyone can give me suggestions and then I can discuss whether I like the career or not. I am really at a loss, because quite strangely I feel that I like every career choice! I even thought of becoming a NASA engineer because I liked astronomy when I was taught that at school. Please help!

One listed a number of interests/subject areas, and there are ample opportunities in each area.

For example, one could find opportunity in data visualization or data analysis. While the state-of-the-art in any of these areas may be well established, and in some more than others, there is always the drive for innovation.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
