I’m a 19-year-old international student in the U.S., currently in my first semester. My major is Business with a concentration in Finance. While I like certain aspects of it, I’m not entirely sure if I want to pursue it long-term. I often feel confused about whether it’s truly the right path for me. My parents, like many traditional and conservative ones, would prefer I pursue a field like medicine. They don’t force me, but I know they hope I’ll follow a path that leads to a stable and respected career. I do like biology, and sometimes I consider nursing, but I’m not sure that it’s the right fit for me either. Right now, I feel passionate about earning a business degree and doing pilot training alongside it. Still, I often question whether that’s the best choice for me or not. I really want to make a clear decision soon so I can plan my next steps without wasting more time. I already feel like I’ve lost some time being unsure, and I don’t want that to continue. ?
