I should be enjoying a successful career if I had only chosen the right door. When I was in high school I was wonderful at math and decided I wanted to be an architect. I was later convinced that that was a bad idea and ended up double majoring in psychology and Japanese and am now in Taiwan studying Chinese while teaching English. But, I now know that architecture would have suited me perfectly had I chosen it.
I know people will say that it's never too late to start over, but let me explain. I grew up on ranch being the only one in my family to go to college and my parents are so proud of what they think I've accomplished. When it comes to my life they trust my decisions 100%. My sisters assume I'll be rich one day. I was voted most likely to succeed when I graduated. To start over would mean humiliation not just for me but for my whole family.
Is it even possible to start architecture at 27? Or should I just continue on my path and make the best of it?
