How do you know if you have found yor dreamed career?
I love science but I also love writing short stories and sometimes I wonder if I will ever regret not choosing English as my major. I love biology and everything that involves it but how do you know if you are making the correct decision?

Hello dear, very good question.
When you will fall in love with some work. And that work will make you so much insane and dedicated that you can leave everything for that. It will take you into imagination.
To achieve that work you have to do diverse work until you will not get that.
I mean to say struggle.
Do not stay at place where you are not happy, not feeling respectful, you have to act fake, you have to compromise self respect. Struggle until you will not find that and after that believe me every moment of your life filled with love,abundance. You will be into the other world.
Best of luck

I'm going to be realistic given the information you provided. Making a career as a fiction writer is very difficult, making a career with a science major is far easier. I'm not saying you shouldn't take English as a major if that's what you love, and if that outshone the love for science I'd say go for it. But since you also love Biology/science, my recommendation would be continue the Biology major, you can always take English electives, and continue writing your short stories as a hobby. The more you practice your story writing, the better you'll get, but having a day job while you get to the stage where you have the potential to be published will pay more bills.
If you really really can't decide, you could also look into the possibility later of being a science writer or reporter. Lots of scientists have problems with the writing side, especially for grant proposals or non-academic reporting, if you have a science background you'd be perfect for that kind of position.
