This advice was similar to what I got from my therapist when I was 19 in pre-med at college. I liked physics most, but everyone in my family was in medicine. So my therapist said, go job shadow people who have jobs in each of the fields that you are considering. So I shadowed a respirologist for a day I shadowed and electrical engineering firm that did wiring for department stores and big box stores and I shadowed a satellite engineering and manufacturing company. The respirologist, so very highly paid, was absolutely the worst job I could possibly imagine for myself. The patience that he saw that day, all had elements from manufacturing sector jobs, where their lungs were basically shot. He prescribed a whole bunch of steroids on schedules that the patients didn't understand (most of them did not speak English). It was so depressing. The electrical engineering firm that designed the big box stores, that was super boring to. AutoCAD and sitting at your desk all day long. The one that I like the most was the satellite engineering and Manufacturing Company. So I went into aerospace engineering. Then eventually changed to electrical engineering, but the passion for Aerospace remains. What I wish this article addressed, I was how to refund your career when you're now in your mid-thirties.
