What electives do you recommend for a well-rounded high school experience?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to pick some electives for next year and I want to balance fun with educational value. I'm already looking into taking a business class because I might want to major in it, but what are some other fun elective classes in high school that you guys have enjoyed or benefited from?

Hey there! Your approach to selecting electives sounds smart – it's great to combine learning with fun.

Since you're considering a major in business, electives like economics, personal finance, or entrepreneurship could align with your interests and provide useful fundamentals. For a creative and practical twist, consider classes like marketing or graphic design, which can be both fun and relevant to the business field.

Additionally, exploring a foreign language could be advantageous, as it can bolster communication skills and cultural awareness – both valuable in the business world. And don't overlook the arts! Whether it's theatre, pottery, or creative writing, these courses can enhance your creativity and provide a refreshing balance to your schedule.

Remember to think about the skills that will serve you well in the future and the things that make you excited to learn. Have a wonderful time picking your classes!
