I regret the job direction I took with my course and don’t know what to do!
I’m at college doing graphic design and regret it. I’m 20 so I feel like it’s too late for me to go back and change my entire direction of my career. My grades in these first couple years have been great but im still experiencing a lot of regret.
I’ve always wanted to help people- become a therapist or an educator. I never did because I didn’t think i was smart enough in school. I feel like I won’t feel fulfilled with graphic design because I feel like the jobs it’ll lead to are either completely with AI or taken over by it. I just want to help people in whatever career I take and I don’t wanna regret what I do because it’s the rest of my life.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation or have any advice?
