That's okay Kate, I'm always glad to help out if possible, and I'm really glad to meet you too.
For every problem, there are many solutions. It's only a matter of finding the right one.
What would you like to do the most, instead of what you're studying for now?
A lot of young people start feeling that they're expected to do certain things, go to a certain school or follow a certain plan in life, but later they realize that they're doing what OTHER people expect, not what THEY want. If you're going to be happy in the future, at some point you have to take over your own life and follow your own path. I'm sure you know this.
When I was 18 or 19 years old, I had many interests but couldn't decide which one I wanted to do the most. I came from a bad neighborhood, some of my friends were in the Mafia, and I knew I didn't want any part of that.
However, at age 19 I was drafted into the military, and was in until I was 23. So when I got out, I was more mature and knew what I wanted to do, and I stayed away from my old neighborhood. Today, I'm doing really well, and glad that I had the chance to make the right choices.
