To those who pursued like a degree in what they want their career to be/people who are currently doing so: how can you tell what you're doing is what you want? Is it like despite all the hard work you put in you feel like you are where you want to be? Is there just something inside of you that just lets you know? I'm just having a crisis and don't know what I want or if I'm just having a rough year(s) and that's affecting how I feel

I've always had the thought in my head since I was 7 that I wanted to be a Pediatrician becaause at that age I wanted to help people. Then I graduated High School and I wasn't like.... top of my class just decent I guess so I chalked it but then came back and I'm slaying. BUT the only reason I came back to it is because of the memory I have when I was 7, like I don't remember much from when I was younger but I always remember that one. Plus when I first shadowed, my heart was racing and I didn't want to leave.
Sometimes I feel like I can't do it or I'm not good enough (I have a lot of bumps in the road but I stayed strong and kept going)
When I feel like that I just picture what my life would be like if I complete it, how will I feel? There's something about thinking about it for me that lights the fire.
I hope you can find your fire sister.
RiDsTeR that's awesome to hear! I know no matter what path is taken there will always be bumps/times you feel like you might not want to do what you think you want to do, that's mainly my problem right now. I'm doing computer science and I already got a certificate in programming and I like learning about programming but also i started feeling like "ok I like learning this enough to pass and to fill my curiosity but idk if I want to do this as my career" but now I'm in classes that aren't so much programming opposed to actual computer stuff and it just doesn't interest me that much. And I'm supposed to transfer to a uni next fall so I'm just really stuck at a bad time cause I need to decide what to major. But I don't feel a passion for computer science so that helps kinda with the decision... thank you for sharing what you've been through tho! ShadowBaller000 yeah I've heard that as well.. I'm so far into computer science I feel like I should just finish it? But I'm also just been skating by a lot in the classes and I'm about to fail my first one in the subject so idk if it's worth keep going down this path
