But it is moot as I lacked the wherewithal back then to make that happen. As far as education I, at the very least, would have done exploratory studies at a community college to figure some basic things out before committing to a more expensive college or a major. At the time, being undecided and not accepted at a "good" college held its own stigma. Or maybe that was all just a figment in my mind... Yes, confusion is a good word and nothing to be ashamed of. Although many people do figure all these things out by the time they leave high school.... I am confident in saying the majority do not. For them, the time after high school is a time of exploration and discovery. If you view it that way, you will enjoy this time of your life instead of being consumed by it.
Wow! I will be graduating soon, and your sentiments fit mine exactly! Kudos, sir!
