    The most important thing when deciding your occupation is finding out what you WANT to do.
    Do you like to help people? Do you like to work with numbers? Ideas? Animals? Money?
    It sounds silly, but make lists of your likes and dislikes. What are your strengths and weaknesses? If you’re having trouble figuring it out, ask friends or family or someone who knows you very well.
    Talk to people at their jobs. Ask if they like their jobs and how they got to where they are now.
    It sounds like you are good at biology and Chinese. If you play to your strengths and find a job that you truly enjoy, you’ll be having fun no matter what because you will be doing what you love.
    One occupation that I have always admired is teaching. If you are able to convey your thoughts and knowledge effectively to others, this is something to consider.
    In this day and age, everything is global, and the world is in need of more interpreters and translators. If you enjoy speaking Chinese, use it to your benefit and help people who speak English understand! Interpreters are needed pretty much everywhere: schools, law offices, hospitals, law enforcement agencies (police), religious buildings, etc.
    Good luck with your job search :)
