I am a 2nd year iMSc in Computer Science student. I do like what I am studying but I don't know what job path I should choose. My third year is going to start soon and I need to pick a specialization but I don't know which field would best suit me. Please guide me, and if possible I don't want to get the general advice, that it's up to you, whatever interests you, or experiment with all the fields, etc. I am genuinely feeling struck like earlier I wanted to do data science, but then UI/UX designing and then game development caught my interest, now robotics is also interesting to me, and I also want to build a start-up of my own as well, rather than doing a 9-5 job but I have no idea how to start this is getting so frustrating, please help.
I want to do something creative, and also well-paid, there are many fields but now that I know I have to stick with one choice in a year. It's kinda scary.
