People can and do find careers they really enjoy and it's really not a bad thing to continue learning and thinking about a career change until you find something you actually enjoy doing. Also, every job a person does is a learning experience and it's actually amazing what you can learn that can be helpful towards doing something else you want to end up doing. The same is true for relationships, you may not end up with the person you engaged in a relationship with for a year or a few years, especially when one is so young, however you can apply things you have learned to a relationship that may be a better match, in this case a man who does want a family someday.
One thing I have noticed about individuals in their early twenties is they seem to think they should "know" what they want and stress if they are not really sure. Well, it's SO NORMAL to not be sure, it really is and my suggestion is to give yourself some time to explore before making a big life decision.

Yes, that is so true, every job is a learning experience and helpful towards something else you want to do. If anything knowing that you don't like it is helpful enough. For example, when I first started my job it was exactly what I was looking for. I desired a job doing exactly what I am doing for a while but when I actually got to do it myself I realized how much I dislike it. It didn't take long to realize this either. Even in my job there are parts that I do like doing and that is where the value comes in. I have learned a lot of new things in my role. I also know I could use these skills and apply them to another job I may be better suited for. It is a long process and sometimes frustrating when you don't know what you want. Thank you for reassuring me that it is normal to not be sure. I always feel that stress and pressure of not knowing because I want to be working towards something.
