Idk what to do with my life
I’m 16, going to turn 17 soon. I’m a senior in highschool, I wanted to be a doctor until I saw some videos and photos of what doctors have to deal with, it’s far too scary and bloody for me and I don’t know what I was thinking or how I thought I could handle it even one bit.
But, now I don’t know what to major in, I genuinely have no strong passions that aren’t art related but I’m not majoring in something art related because that field is being taken over by ai and I like to have a roof over my head actually, the only thing other than that, that I truly like is biology and sometimes chemistry, but even then I don’t know what to major in
I get this might not seem like a big deal, but it is to me, I’m an Arab girl in an Arab country, and I really don’t want to stereotype, but I need to major in something good, so I can get a good job and sustain myself, if I can’t sustain myself then I’ll have to get married a few years after college and I do not want that, because I know myself, I wouldn’t be a good partner. And if I get married, then I’ll definitely end up having kids even though I don’t want kids and I’d be a horrible mom, I put myself first, I’m kinda selfish and lazy sometimes and I need like 5-6 hours of alone time daily to even tolerate being around my younger siblings. So genuinely me living the life I want relies on what I major in, mostly because the country I’m in isn’t like America and still HEAVILY values college degrees and education.
