The career you chose out of high school doesn't have to be the one you do until you retire and you can also very easily go back to school if you are ever unsatisfied with your path.
Sometimes it just takes a bit of time and experience for you to find your passion and with it your skills to really blossom.
I, for instance started with veterinary nursing, but ended up in mech/elec. engineering and will be taking classes on the side for it.
- Very true, more people should follow their dreams.
  I know a guy who was kind of forced into an IT university. His parents thought it would be a good fit, as he likes computers and videogames.
  He one day decided to quit and took some time off and started working in some fancy hotel kitchen as a temp job, while spending some time away from the family. Fast forward a couple years, he is now in culinary school and wants to become a chef. Needless to say he is happier and visibly has a better mental health as before.
  
  As someone who went from being miserable running a pizza kitchen, to my dream job of being a software engineer, I can't fathom how anyone would want to go the opposite direction. Everyone has different preferences I suppose.
  
  No idea, also not my ideal preference, but he seem to like it, while he was miserable with the IT school.
  
  Needless to say he is happier
  That's just the coke.
- Hey, similar to me! I was a veterinarian receptionist for years, then went back to school and got my associates in cad and now I'm a substation designer.
