    Which one are you more talented/skilled in? If both are about equal, which one do you have more passion toward? I think the latter can sometimes be more important. I have a talent for writing, but, I don't have the determination. What I once thought would be my vocation is now more of a hobby.

    I would maybe try to see if you could shadow a baker or a chef if you know anyone who does that professionally because seeing what someone does on a day to day basis in that career can really help.

    You can take career aptitude tests online, but I feel like those are more of a basic guide to interests you may have. In other words, I wouldn't base my entire career choice off of it.

    Finally, remember you're 19 and it may take you time to figure everything out. I'm not that much older than you and I still have basically nothing figured out. Take everything one step at a time and just enjoy yourself. What's right for you right now may be totally different than what's right for you in 15 years.

    It's not really a decision someone else can make for you.

    You have to think about 3 things
    1 what are you better at
    2 what do you like doing
    3 what is the best pay

    If you really take a moment to look inside and think about it, which do you want to do most?
