How do I know if I'm on the right track?
I am currently studying in one of the most prestigious university in my country and I am enrolled in a program wherein i did not want. I took the opportunity since the passing rate of this institution is very high, and i ended up realizing that this program isn't meant for me. So i decided to drop one of the major courses and decided i am going to shift next semester to BA Communication. What I'm afraid of is that I might make the same mistake twice and I'm currently in a point of my life wherein i do not know what i want; but i do need money. And I'm afraid that this program might not have as much opportunity as my current one (math). I have always believed/convinced myself that i am a STEM person. However i haven't realized until recently that what i want is to speak in large crowds, to inspire, and create stories that connects with people. And I have always wondered will this program sustain myself and my family in the future? Is it worth risking my future for something/ a course that i actually want to pursue? Please enlighten me.
