I feel so lost and regret my career decision immensely.(Posting 4 a friend)
For context, I finished a bachelors in psychology in 2023, however right in my last semester I realised I enjoyed statistics, getting really into maths so I taught myself calculus as a hobby.
So I decided to not pursue my original plan of becoming a psychologist and instead started a masters in data analytics. I graduated from my masters 8 months ago, and recently landed a job in the data analytics field.
It has been a huge struggle since I started, as I’m realising how little I enjoy it, finding it incredibly boring and feeling like I have little guidance on what I’m meant to be doing.
Basically, I feel so lost as it feels like I’ve wasted 2.5 years studying a masters when I could have continued with psychology and I would’ve nearly become a registered psychologist by now. I feel like it’s too late to change as I’ve already spent the last 6 years studying, so I feel like it’s also a dumb idea to go back to doing my honours and masters in psychology.
I just need some sort of guidance or advice, as I feel completely stuck in a deadlock and like I’ve made the dumbest irreversible decision
