You ever feel like you made a wrong turn somewhere, but now you've started on a career pathway, have a stupid fuck off hecs debt, can't afford therapy, and feel like it's too late to go back? That you're struggling with your job, don't have any real reference point as to whether it's normal, and just kinda wish you had another option?

Today was not a good day.

True, I had to choose my degree at some point

Weโ€™ve all been there at various levels. Hang in there. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

I chose two wrong degrees.

[-] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Yes. Iโ€™d completed most of my first uni course before realising what I really wanted to do.

No choice but to finish the course.

I started a BA because I didn't get into the course I wanted to and didn't know what else to do, then had a breakdown and didn't finish it anyway. Waste of time and I've never earned enough to pay it back :(

Iโ€™ve been in existential crisis for decades. So I reckon normal.
