#67: What? Another intersection?

Life is a path full with intersections and crossroads. They give you choices, but they do not have the "undo" button. Once you decided, it will be near impossible to go back to where you are asked.

The worst of all is, the place on the path that requires you to decide is somewhat a quicksand, they don't let you to choose for long.

Yeap, yet another question about life. Life is a question, an unending question, yet you know that at the end of this sentence it will be a question mark. You cannot stare at the question and find the answer in your head. You have to go out and search for them.

Anyway, cut the "emo" part and straight to the point; I frown upon my future.

For the first time, I don't know where my interests lie.

I don't know what course to take in the future, morevoer a career.

Then, the question of possibility and rationale of choosing that specific career arises.

There are examples of people around me studying one course but end up doing something far different from what he/she studied. There's one relative of mind who studied Biotech, but end up working in a bank. A friend's father studied Social Science but end up becoming an insurance agent.

What does this prove? This prove that, you cannot really choose what you want to do in life. Even though you can choose what course you want to study, that doesn't guarantee you will do something related to what you studied earlier.

But, this is for later, for my question is not solved: what are my interests?

You say music, but it's hard and not much future in there. Plus, you must be some kind of virtuoso or maestro to be a accomplish musician.

You say politics, but guess what-I do not plan to stay here for the rest of my life, and you know that foreign migrants are not entitled to political power.

Worst of all is, even though you have degrees in either music or political science, no one (in the sense of the corporate and business world) would recognise or appreciate, or even consider your university qualifications, because both of them are just far different from what they want.

I'm not into medicine. I'm not much interested in business.

Law? People are now saying that there are too many people out there having a law degree. Furthermore, law requires you to memorise things. Am I good in memorising things? I don't know.

I don't know what other options are available. Please enlighten me.
