I'm just starting up at university in the fall and honestly the path I'm going down (law/business) is more just to satisfy my parents. I don't even like politics and I'm not a very social person. I just realistically couldn't see myself succeeding in either of those fields. There is no job I can think of ever being happy doing. It's not even like I'm giving up my passion to study this, because I don't really have one that's career oriented. I am not trying to say that I hate working in general, because I don't! I just honestly feel like no matter what I'll be stuck in a job I hate.

    I can relate. My main issue is that whilst some people would see a job they disliked/hated I would see a job that would ruin my mental health.

    I've sort of accepted the fact that I wont ever get a normal job though.

    I feel the same. I started my university in the fall too, but I'm just studying because I need to, or in a few years I will not be able to pay the bills :b I don't hate what I'm studying, but I don't love it too.
    Also, I don't have nothing that I like and think "yes, this is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life". so yeah, I understand you..

    That's life, no one really if ever enjoys the work they do. They just find a job, that isn't half bad and pays the bills and just stick to it.

    It takes a lot of people half a lifetime or more to find their path or passion. Some never do. You are awfully young to be worrying about it at this point, IF and this is a big IF, your parents are paying for your education.
    If they are not, then it makes no sense at all to graduate in a field you hate and begin your career with a 6 figure debt.
    If you can graduate without the debt, then take the education and go seek your passion after graduation.
    Good luck.
