Should I Take an IT Job or Follow My Interest in Social Work?

I’m studying a 5-year integrated M.Tech in CS with Business Analytics, and I’m currently in my 8th semester (4th year). As for my_qualifications, I’ve been doing well academically and have an 8.9 CGPA, but lately I’ve been feeling like computer science may not be the field I want to continue with for the rest of my life. Something feels missing. Also, with all the rapid AI developments, I’ve started to feel disconnected from CS and even began to dislike it.

In a few months, internships and placement opportunities will start coming to my college, but I find myself drawn towards doing a master’s in social work instead. I’m not exactly sure how this interest developed, maybe moving away from my hometown to a city exposed me to new people and their struggles. Seeing the hard lives many people live made me more aware and empathetic. I even started writing about people and their stories in my diary, and it genuinely made me feel good.

I feel like a career that combines social work with some computer-related role might suit me better. On top of that, I’ve had back pain from a young age, and the idea of a typical IT job that requires long hours of sitting feels unsuitable for me.

So I’m confused: should I sit for placements and take an IT job, or should I pursue a 2-year master’s in social work and aim for a job that aligns more with what I genuinely like?
