Hi Liverpool,

Like many of your friends, most of us do not know until after the fact.

We have been misled by the media, or parents, or friends, or the availability of scholarships, etc.

Some of us have the opportunity to change directions in mid life. Some get stuck because of the good money, or lack of opportunities elsewhere or just fear of change. Too bad.

If I were younger, I would go for a few psych tests to figure out my strengths and weaknesses (regardless of the discipline I studied), instead of jumping into the first job that offered me a nice salary.
