Uncertain about future career
I'm a senior in college & I'll be graduating soon... however, I STILL DON'T KNOW what career I would like to pursue. The things I'm interested in do not make as much money as I want, but I'm sure I'll enjoy my job. I'm torn between pursuing something I enjoy or something that will make me $$$... (I might like this profession too!)... I don't know I just feel lost... I'll be taking a year off due to my indecision. I plan to return to graduate school in 2010... I've just put thinking about the future off because thinking about it makes me nervous.
Plus, everyone has high expectations when it comes to me. I was planning to be an oncologist, but decided that was not for me. I might regret it later, but for now I'm talking myself out of it... People expect me to be a doctor or a lawyer... something with high prestige. It's very overwhelming. I feel so pressured.
How did you guys decide which path to pursue?
I don't know, any thoughts on this?
