i'm a Pharmaceutical Sciences diploma graduate from Tanzania and I'm struggling to choose the right bachelor's degree. Part of me wants to continue in healthcare, while another part is drawn to technology, business, and roles outside traditional pharmacy. How did you know you were choosing a degree that aligned with the life and career you truly wanted rather than the one you felt expected to pursue?

Like the question says, what do you think?

Personally, I'm a high school senior so all I can say so far is E&M. I'm taking AP Physics 2 and self-studying both the Physics C courses.

This basically gives me awareness because I like to take on challenges.

Feel free to say your thoughts!
