Yeah, I get what you're saying completely. I also chose something to make others happy. People kept advising me, telling me I should do this and that because it's my future and blah blah blah... I ended up choosing a field because of it's career-generating potential. But, I ask you, who is going to employ a sad, unhappy and depressed person in their company anyway? What good did it do me, I won't get a job in this field now anyway.
I know I'm still young, and was only 17 when I made that decision, and I know that one's parents and elders should always know best, but truly I tell you I regret ever listening to them. I had my own brain to follow and I regret not just saying NO, and doing what I wanted to.
