Did anyone here completely pivot after their bachelor’s degree? I’d love to hear your story.

One thing I’ve been noticing is that a surprising number of people don’t actually stay in the field they studied.

I’ve seen people who did:

Engineering → MBA
Engineering → Law
Engineering → Public Policy
BSc → Finance
BA → Marketing
BCom → UX Design
BCA → Consulting
Science → Civil Services
Humanities → Corporate jobs

Some even switched into completely unrelated careers years after graduating.

I’m trying to understand how common this actually is.

I’d love to hear your story.

What was your bachelor’s degree?
Why did you decide to leave that field?
What did you switch into?
Was the transition difficult?
Looking back, do you regret it?
What skills helped you make the switch?
What advice would you give someone who feels lost after graduation and doesn’t know which direction to take?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who didn’t have everything figured out in their early twenties but eventually found a path that suited them.

I’m not looking for perfect success stories. Honest experiences, including failures and unexpected turns, would be really helpful.
