Hey parents,
I'm in desperate need of some insight as to how exactly to decide what to do with my life.
I'm a rising sophomore in college. I go to a good university, and I have the motivation and determination to get good grades and to be successful in whatever I choose to do.
The problem is - I don't know what I want to do. I used to want to go to med school because, well, that sounds pretty cool. I've also wanted to go to law school. But then I changed it to business before entering college, and I was all set on consulting or i-banking because, well, you make a lot of money. Now I'm not so sure about business because I don't think it correlates well with my personality (esp. i-banking) and I hate that it's all about networking and connections because frankly I'm horrible at doing that.
As of now I'm wavering desperately between continuing with business or trying to get into a good law school, and I know I have time to decide, but I also don't want to waste too much time deciding because then I'd feel like if I had decided earlier I'd put myself in a better position to be succesful. I don't know which one I'm more interested in, so the only factor I can really consider is how much money I can make. But I want to enjoy what I do to some extent, or least be able to do it for a a long time without hating it.
Does finance sound interesting to me? No. Does studying dense law texts? Not particularly. So I don't even know what else to consider...I also know that what you study in college and your actual job can be very different, so I'm trying to be fair.
So how should I start the process of finally deciding? I want to decide because I need to have a goal for myself or else it drives me crazy.
If you can help me in any way I'd greatly appreciate it
