Could that be part of it? There are other career options besides that.
I didn't want to be a doctor, it was something I did to make my parents happy, at first it was okay, but now just the thought of going back gives me anxiety. My parents just want the best for me, I think they think that I'm wasting my potential by not being a doctor and just being a teacher like they are. Fine, I may struggle, but maybe I'll be happy in my job because I enjoy it.
