What shout I do?

I have given my exams of FSc (medical). After this, my college is almost done, the only thing I'm worried about is my next step. My parents want me to do nursing and I was ok with this but now that I think about it, I don't feel like I want to do it. Even now, I tell myself if I do it, I will gradually got interested in it but on the other hand, I also wanna do something that I like. The most worrying thing is I don't know. I don't know what I want to do? And it's really hard.

Laura’s Answer

I think this is actually very common right after you’ve finished a structured path, and now suddenly you’re expected to make a “big life decision” without having enough real exposure to options. “I don’t know” is a valid starting point. Not knowing what you want right now doesn’t mean you’re confused or behind. It usually means you haven’t had enough experience with different fields to form a real preference yet. Your decision does not have to be final, ya know?
I don’t think you should rely on “I’ll get interested later,” that sometimes happens, but it’s not a strong enough reason by itself to commit to the years of training it takes plus the rest of your life.
A better question is: Do I have even a small genuine curiosity or respect for nursing work now? Can I tolerate the reality of it (shift work, emotional stress, patient care intensity), not just the idea of it?
It is hard but you will make a great choice for YOU.
