    It happens to many. I trained to be a teacher, got a state certificate, taught for a while, and decided to rethink my career. I did teach again a few years later after working at other jobs, and then became a librarian and later a counselor. My younger son graduated from college in '97 and still isn't quite sure he's in the right job.

    So, you see, just because you have studied toward a certain career, that doesn't mean it will be your passion and your life's work. My suggestion is to get a job in that field and give it a chance. Meanwhile, you will learn more about yourself and possibly what else you might want to do. Also, volunteer at a hospital or animal shelter or library in order to meet people outside your field and in order to do work of an entirely different nature. That effort will help you better organize your priorities.

    Many people, find this, how much did you investigate what the job would be like. What is it, that does not seem what you wanted?

    If you want to change careers then do so.

    Nothing worthwhile is easy. If you want the easy way, then stay in the career you're not in, and hope that you learn to love it.
