figure out what i want to do with my life

Yes. I’m only a teenager and I’m already panicking about where my life is going.

I keep flip-flopping between art and science. I wish there was a way to combine the two without having to give one up entirely. I had originally wanted to be a graphic designer. But then I realised I’ll be making more money as a bio-medical engineer in the biotechnology field. But then, after taking three days’ worth of an advanced biology class, it hit me that I’m studying biology for no reason: I wanted to be an artist.

So… I’ve come to the decision that i’m indecisive. I wish I could look back on this someday and say: man, that was such a silly time in my life.

I might know what i want to be later on in life… but that’s a really tough decision.

I want to go into pharmacy or bio-medical engineering. I know that’s a drastic change from wanting to become a graphic artist, but I’ve been inspired to do it. A very large part of me still wants to go into the art industry, but I think I’ll be fine doing something for the betterment of other’s lives.

However, no matter how sure I am right now, I’m still young and I’m probably going to change. Life’s full of surprises!

Like everyone else here, I’m wondering what I want to do with my life when I enter university. People tell me that what I major in won’t matter when I start looking for a real job. Which worries me because I don’t want to study my butt off to get a degree for something that I won’t use.

Currently I’m stressing out about which universities I should choose to attend. It sounds simple huh? Normally people would say “Just choose the most elite university” to me, and I’ll have to stare blankly at them. For me I need to either go to an elite art school in order to have good networking once I graduate, or just attend a regular university and major in something such as medicine. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.
