From Lesson 134:The future tense for regular verbs (-rai, -ras)·French

Questions & Answers about Je choisirai un bon métier pour mon avenir.

How is the future tense formed in choisirai?
Choisirai is the futur simple (future tense) of the regular -ir verb choisir (to choose). For regular -er and -ir verbs, you form the future tense by taking the full infinitive (choisir) and adding the future endings. For je, the ending is -ai, giving us je choisirai.
Why does bon come before métier instead of after it?
In French, most adjectives come after the noun they describe. However, short, common adjectives that describe Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, or Size (often remembered by the acronym BANGS) come before the noun. Since bon (good) describes "goodness", it goes right before métier.
What is the difference between un métier and un travail?
While both can translate to "job" or "work", un métier specifically refers to a profession, trade, or career path that you learn and develop over time. Un travail is a more general word for "work" or "a job". Here, the speaker is talking about choosing a long-term career path, so métier is the perfect word.
Could I say ma avenir since "future" can refer to a general concept?
No, you must use mon avenir. First, avenir is a masculine noun. Second, even if it were a feminine noun, French requires you to use the masculine possessive adjective (mon, ton, son) before any singular noun that starts with a vowel sound. This prevents two vowel sounds from clashing.
