Dear Shadix,

Unfortunately we live in a system where certain roles are more rewarding, some careers more progressive and some professions more respected than the rest. When we grow up in a system like that, we tend to make popular choices only to realise later what we really want deep inside. Upon realisation, some people have a choice to change their course and for others, it is not an option.

Now in order for you to pursue your interests, you have to see whether you can make this decision or not. If you have a family to feed, repay a loan or other financial obligations, then (whether you like it or not) you have to carry on until you can afford to choose whatever you wish to do. So sit down and consider your situation, only you know your circumstances and only you can make a decision.

I wish you well.
