There is much written & spoken about what one should choose for a lifetime work career, but less emphasis is made on seriously studying what the future of the job market(s) will hold as the world evolves; in the trades field, the arts, science and technology. No one has a working crystal ball, but reviewing the latest trends and projecting them into the future as possible choices should help guide one's decision.
The world has developed to an enormous extent in a very short period of "historical" time. Former traditional & very worthwhile careers have, or are reaching their useful lives. Look at what has evolved over the past 100 years, a relatively short time, and then anticipate where man's ingenuity will take us next, and what will be needed to support the future of mankind. In my opinion the future belongs to the exploration of space and beyond. Many of the trades and technologies will evolve accordingly, requiring new & different skill sets. Research the future!
