First and foremost, in choosing a career, like in any other life matters, we should make time to seek God for His direction in prayers and reading His Word. Any sincere Christian who wants to know the will of God concerning his career path can know it, but this is typically a process, not a dramatic revelation. Good career paths also often follow abilities and capacities which you have been gifted with. God has given you talents, skills, and aptitudes that make you unique and capable. Evaluating those and utilizing them is very helpful in choosing the best career.
