Hi there

I'm on the verge of pulling my own hair out in my attempts to make a final decision about my education. Currently I'm studying at a university in Denmark, but I'm seriously close to changing to a Bachelor in Social Education.

The thing is, I find a couple of courses interesting (mainly the current semesterproject) right now, but I think I want to change because I think I'm more passionate about the social education. Notice the "think" twice. It's so hard to make such a decision! What if I realize I didn't want that anyway? What if the dream I have with social education is unrealistic? What if I regret changing? I'd look like an idiot. Not to mention feel like one.

My current education is somewhat exciting, but I'm having a hard time seeing myself in that position in 5-10 years.. But I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Aaaaghhh.. And what about finances? I'm positive I'll make a decent pay if I finish this one, but the other one would not give me as much...

My current education is called technoanthropology (has anyone ever heard of that anyway? ), and the goal for SE would be to work with young people who is coping with mental illnesses like depression or schizofrenia. God damnit that would be exciting.. I just don't know if social education would give me that opportunity.. Studying psychology would, but I'm nowhere near that grade average.

Has anyone else ever had to make a decision like this? How did you cope and decide?

Woah, I'm jabbering..
