What Are Effective Strategies for Self-Discipline?
I'm a college junior, studying cybersecurity; with an emphasis on network security. My dream job is to become a network security professional for Cisco and manage Cisco devices; this is the roadmap and the career goal I have set for myself. However, the more I reflect on my current situation, I find myself having a hard time being present and procrastinating over what needs to be done. For example, my biggest goal of the year is to earn the CCNA certification; a highly respected and recognized accolade in the networking industry, earned by many network administrators, who want to work for Cisco. It's a certification I've been interested in for some time now, but I'm finding myself lacking the motivation and get self-doubt in my ability to study; I find myself getting more distracted with less intimidating goals like Hats & Ladders or making this post. What are some effective ways, backed by science to discipline my mind and achieve these accolades?

What career path should I follow based on the following information?
I'm an 18-year-old freshly out of high school. I'm not really sure about what I should pursue in college. My interests incline towards chemistry, biology, and psychology and I feel like I want to do something in the field of biology. But the thing is, in this field whatever I'm inclining toward seems like it wouldn't really help me with any placements and job opportunities, at least till I complete my master's in the course. Also, the earning also seems pretty low, specifically in India. I did think about going in the direction of med, but the competition seems way too high, and it feels very challenging so I'm not really sure about it. I was thinking about choosing between pharmacy and biotechnology, but in both cases, the placements and the opportunities seem to be lacking in India. What should I do?
