I know what you mean about not knowing if it's you or the depression talking. It's really hard to untangle one from the other. They may not be mutually exclusive. I know for me that French is not my passion, and my depression came on largely as a result of denying myself my true passions, which made me resent French even more, and so on and so forth.

Does your school have a career counselling service? Maybe you could sit down with someone there and try to figure out where you should head now. Have you talked to any of your classmates to get a feel for what other people in your major are going to do after graduation? Maybe you can get some inspiration from them. Remember you're not alone in feeling this way. Plenty of people have no idea where they're headed when they graduate. Some people don't realize what they really want until they're ten years into their careers. There's nothing wrong with shifting paths and exploring your options. My aunt, for example, has had three careers that I can think of off the top of my head, and at 45 she is now VERY well off. I should also add that she doesn't have a university degree. Degrees are important but they don't have to be everything. Life is often times one of the best sources of education.

Good luck

we pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on.

I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.
