Perry’s Answer

Hi Sean, that's a tough one. I'll take a little stab at it, but my answer might seem like a punt.


What year are you in college?

Are you pursuing a 4-year Bachelor's or a 2-year Associate?

At your age you obviously have perspective on yourself and life. Your strengths and weaknesses. Likes and dislikes.

What does the job/profession market look like for things that you are interested in? Supply and demand?

What kind of lifestyle do you want?

How important to you is income and what would you accept?


Putting all these above factors together might help sharply narrow down your considerations. Depending on which year you are college, take classes in things that might fit your criteria. You have time to decide.

Above all, don't rush. Don't panic. Don't try to push yourself into a decision; the decision will come to you, if you let it. You will know inside what is right. "To thine own self be true".

I hope this helps.

Best of luck,

Perry

Choose a subject you enrolled in at college, and use it to build your skills. Remember, age is not a barrier to learning new things. What truly counts is your interest and dedication.
