I don't know. I get this question a lot. Regarding anything, but the most recent and stressful case is after high school. I really don't know. It's not just that I don't know what school to go to. Go down a step. I don't know where I want to go. Go down another step. I don't know what kind of school to do. Go down another step. I don't know what I want to do.
I just went to the "Beyond High School" event at my school and I found myself dumbfounded, trying to find an excuse of an answer whenever this question popped up from one of the college representatives. I've had my eyes set on one thing the whole time, I never thought of anything else. I just wanted to do become a radiology tech like my dad, but as high school went on, I guess I thought of other things, but I never really went into a level of dedication as much as becoming a radiology tech. My own dad, who's footsteps I'm trying to follow won't even recommend radiology for me. But I suppose he's right. He only wants the best for me and he has the perspective to tell whether it is or not good for me.
I guess I've narrowed my choices down. It's between radiology technician, IT, teacher, or software engineer. In my choices, I try to view myself in these positions keeping in mind; a) journey to reach this goal, b) happiness and enough of it to last me a large chunk of my life, c)financial stability and sustaining an average standard of living. Each of them has their downfalls. It's like a game of rock, paper, scissors - each thing has their positives and each has their negatives.
There's just so much pressure on a big decision such as this. I don't want to feel like I'll have to choose now and end up with a chunk of my life drowning in regret. I'm running low on time. I don't know what to do.
