You have had a lot of answers. Will not contradict those offerings. My 2c: Whatever you choose, you will do 8+ hrs a day, 5+ days per week for 40+ years. How easily do you get bored? Think about what I just said and then add what your aspirations are for job satisfaction, net worth, community acceptance, family desires, and anything else you can think of. Does your choice for an occupation fill the bill? If not, change it, NOW; you'll regret it later if you don't.

It'll be tough; but things worth having don't come easy. You're going to pay the price, now or later. Pay it now; you'll love yourself later for accepting the challenge now when you are young enough to do it.

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security.
