Right at this moment, I'm really doubting what to do with my life. I'm 22 years old and not liking my studies (graphic and web design), It's even making me feel depressed and anxious, because I'm currently failing it as well. You would probably say: "Simply quit it". However, this is my 3rd study ... I even moved to Belgium (originally from the Netherlands) to study here, and I really felt this was it. I thought moving to another country and living on my own would be motivational, but I'm not feeling motivated or happy with my choice. I didn't have any background or knowledge of graphic nor web design, but I thought it would be a cool career path.
Right now I'm thinking of switching to a linguistics study, simply because I've always been good at that (although I don't really know if I'm going to like it). I was raised trilingual (Spanish- Dutch - English), so I think that'd take off a lot of pressure to it too. But I'm afraid that I won't like that study either and that it'll happen all over again. I think that that could really screw up my career path. Although I've always had the mindset of choosing happiness over wealth, so that isn't really an issue for me. I just don't really know what makes me happy career-wise. I've also thought of quiting my studies and just work, but that would leave me with a big study-loan debt. And I really feel like a degree these days is kind of crucial..What are your thoughts, I could really use some insights...
