I'm a sophomore in university, and everyone tells me that I'll figure out what I want in life in due time. Ever since I was 12 - "don't worry, you still have time." I'm still hearing that I have time, but I really don't think so. I can't even narrow something down to something general - like science or liberal arts or anything. I'm tired of not working towards a career. I took a wide variety of classes to find out what I like, but nothing ever holds my interest.
So, I'm starting to feel like I should probably just pick something where I know I will have a guaranteed job and good salary because I do not have a particular "dream career" like everyone else.
I've been to career counseling, and every time the results are so disappointing because I just cannot see myself doing those things.
Am I setting myself up for failure and a life of unhappiness if I pick a career based on pay and job security instead of enjoyment? I was thinking of going for chem. or biomedical engineering.
