  1. Do you enjoy working with technology, digital tools, or data regularly?

A “yes” leans toward tech; a “no” may suggest a better fit in non-tech fields like education, arts, or social work.

2. Are you comfortable adapting to fast-paced changes and constant innovation?

Tech careers often require staying up-to-date; non-tech roles may offer more stability and slower changes.

3. Do you prefer working behind the scenes (e.g., coding, systems) or engaging directly with people (e.g., sales, healthcare, teaching)?

A “yes” to behind-the-scenes tasks leans toward tech; a “no” may point to people-facing non-tech roles.

4. Are you okay with spending long hours in front of a computer or device?

Tech jobs typically involve extensive screen time, while many non-tech jobs involve physical presence, movement, or in-person interaction.

5. Do you value structure and logic more than creativity and emotional expression?

Tech roles often emphasize logic and systems; non-tech roles can offer more space for emotional intelligence and creativity.

Use your notepad to answer YES or No and make a Data driving decision.
