What others have said: Try and get internships or other ways to get actual hands on experience. Research the degree you are interested in. It my sound fun, and examples of jobs might make decent money, but the things to ask and look for, what is the job market in your field really like. Are there jobs open in location(s) you currently live in, or would you have to relocate and are you willing to do so. Try and find teachers or other people who work in the field you want to, who are of a younger generation. The people who have been out of school or of the older generation(s) probably don’t know what’s current for the kind of work or skills you need. Also take some actual time for yourself. Make some friends, enjoy life at times, don’t feel like you have to be stuck doing school work all of the time. Be willing to change degrees if you find something else that is a better fit for you. Don’t do something just because it’s part of the plan you started with. Good luck and have fun! Hope this helps.
