I guess I never really 'decided' what my career choice would be. When I finished high school, I signed up for a college course in Administration, which is a 3 year course. I completed the first two years of it, and I quit it. I should have done so earlier. It really wasnt the thing for me.
I spent one year working, and then enrolled for an Electronics class, a 2 years course, which I have completed with success two years ago. I kept my maintenance job at the local community center for about 6 months, then found a job related to my course: hearing aid repairs technician. A year after having gotten this job I went up the ladder and ended up where I am now, R&D technician for that same company.
I had never really planned for a career into electronics, I signed up to the class mostly becaue I wanted to acquired the knowledge, but ended up with a nice job. I don't plan to work there for 45 years still. I'll go wherever my choices will take me. I may go back to school someday, who knows?
I'm just saying, do what you LIKE. Even if you don't get a 50k/year job in the field in which you enjoy working, as long as you are happy, it's what counts most imho. Don't go out there and get a high salary, heart attack@40 years old kind of job just to posess a lot of material goods. Do what feels good to you, and you could be surprised.....
