Find what interests you and makes you happy! This is a very subjective question. My friendly advice is don't let a stranger decide your path. Explore the paths yourself and pivot accordingly to what makes you happy and fulfilled! You will learn best by experiencing it yourself, there is no cookie cutter response.
