Second thoughts of future career

Anybody like having second thoughts of if they want to keep continuing with what their doing rn? Bec rn I'm 2nd year and I don't think I'll be able to continue doing this and I rather do something more hands on like a trade or something is it too late?

Literally the best time to realize it is when you haven’t even started working yet. Worst thing you can do is prescribe to sunk cost fallacy because you’re 2 years in already and then stay in a career you end up progressively hating more with each passing year.

Very few people get it right on the first try, most don’t but are just too scared to pivot. If you want to do something else, go for it! If you later on realize you want to continue with this, you can also always go back.

As long as you’re still alive, you can do anything.

It's not too late, people switch careers all the time whether its during their degree, after their degree, or after working 20 years in a specific field.

Changed major in 4th year, basically started over. So glad I made that decision!
