( please read the full story if you can)

so i just finished 11th grade and entering 12th grade soon, but the thing is, in my country your highschool diploma is decided with only 12th grade, so i need to make my decision now!!

i have been learning tech related stuff since i was a child (9 to 10 years old). i learned (self taught or with online courses) many skills. here is some of them:

(Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro)

those are mostly learned between the age of 10 to 13.

then the ones that i really went deep or decent at: (Blender, Unity, and some texturing related softwares, but that was just an addition)

i made 3D animation videos and models on Blender, and 3 2D games and 2 3D Unity games with light C#.

i also made my first and only freelance job at 14 on Upwork for a 4 min animation vid due in 1 week. i spent nights on it just for 5 bucks, but at the end i got a 5 star review, so it was 100% worth it.

i also got a 3D modeling job for a movie prop for 3D printing, and it made the final cut even in the trailer!!

thats the only real work i did.

i started learning Python, but school got the better of me. but i still managed to make a project for my dads work that works by a powered DeepSeek API. you give the program the PDFs folder of the resumes/CV's, it reads and summarizes them into a .txt file of your choosing. it took me 2 days really.

so i know i have good skills, but now i am planning to enter software engineering and specialize in cyber security or a double major, but i am second guessing myself every day.

i want a major that will allow me to open my own business one day, and i am looking for a high earning.

i am planning to apply to CSC China scholarship (i am in a third world country) and work there for a while till i plan my next move. perhaps i can start a masters after that.

so what do you think i can do now? i am genuinely lost. any advice would help, i really need it right now, and thanks for reading my story :)
