Made the wrong choice in life (about education)
December 22, 2012 at 5:14 am
Firstly I am 19, at A Level I did computing and I am in second year at Uni studying business (which I am growing to hate) and I feel like I have made the wrong choice, I wanted to be like my dad and work in business but really I feel more towards being a scientist in maybe chemistry or physics. And I don't know what to do as if I was to retrain it would mean I would have to re do my A levels (which I would have to go to collage and a do Job then go back to Uni with the raised fees (if I was to Stay in the UK)). And I don't know If I am smart enough or capable enough to do it and face higher fees.
I just don't know what to do.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

I don't know what it would mean financially, but you are young so CHANGE or you will become a cynical depressed slave.

Sounds like a lot of run-around to change your major (unless I'm misunderstanding).

Do what makes you happy.
