So I'm graduating in the next few weeks with an accounting degree and over the last month or so, I've really come to realize that I made the wrong decision to go through the commerce stream instead of engineering. I chose business over engineering because I was afraid of the math and calculus when I did my applications and acceptances in grade 12.
I have a good job locked down for September, but I really don't love what I'm learning or love what I've done in my summer jobs. I more enjoy the people than the actual act of auditing or whatever.
I don't wander around downtown wondering how the financials of companies work or how they could be improved... I wander around looking at cars or machines wondering how they work and how they were designed because mechanical things have always been more interesting to me.
Do I regret my degree? At this point, yes... because I'm short sighted and I don't see the opportunities for what it could possibly do for me - especially when I get my professional designation, but still.
Did anyone else feel like me? And if so, what did you do to actually pursue happiness? Was it through side projects/hobbies, or did you just go back and do what you should have done in the first place (I have considered working for a bit to save money and just do an engineering degree straight up).
Any words for a confused soul will be greatly appreciated!
