i should have chosen that and not this...

I, too took up a course in College which was really not my choice. I wanted to be a medical doctor but took up Dentistry instead coz my mom discouraged me from taking up Medicine. I graduated with the title of DDM but never had the chance to pursue a career. Right after College I engaged myself with different businesses from working in a pharmacy to putting up my own businesses and just recently had been working online with various back office jobs as well as article writing, blogs and a lot more.

Oh, I guess you still have some advantage. You're working full time and you have a sideline for an extra income. I guess not all people are blessed with that set up. I guess you can still study if you want to. However, you have to adjust your schedule and maybe you'll sacrifice your sideline for awhile while studying subjects related to business management. Goodluck and happy mylotting.

When I was in high school, we had these tests we had to fill out to find your interests and because I had great motor skills, I was put down for office work. Well I was not interested in it and I never was that good at doing secretarial or stenographic work. I had a creative bent and would rather have written on my own rather then fill out forms, etc. But then if you could not take nursing or teaching, you were stuck then in office work. I was not good at house work, but when I got married I stopped working outside for home. Now I do a lot of writing, singing, and playing the piano, and I think maybe if I had taken creative courses, it might have worked better. At least I would have enjoyed myself more.

It is possible to be your own boss in any field but it is probably easier to start your own business in some fields compared to others. However, by starting your own business your focus would be probably different than if you are working for someone else.

its a matter of decision at that time,dont feel repent or bad about it.just feel happy with what you choose and try to shape it well

I think that we have all done a few things in life that we regret but the best thing is that we can always go back to college and retrain if we want to change out job. I am not particulary happy in my current role so i am also thinking about re-training.

Many times I find getting a job is just being in the right place at the right time. We can't go back and do it over, but I know many of us went to college and end up working in a different field like me. Good luck and whatever you choose its important to be happy as I tell my friends life is short.

hi, we can not go back the past so we should need to be a flexible one,i also graduated in a course where my third choice,but here i am,applying it to my work now,and because my parents are good business minded person i have learned from them on how to manage a business.

i too thought like this ,many times, when i was in college, but we cannot change what has happened, so better enjoy your work, or else try for something new if you are capable.

Hi chiume! My course is also in line with business but my present job deals with administration and supervision but not on business but on government officials. Although this job is not related in any way to my completed course, still I am trying to cope up with everything. I love my present job because this is about service to the people. I am also planning to enter into business but I want to achieve it together with my present job. Who would think that I will be able to get this job? If I had known it earlier, then perhaps I should have taken law or public administration. But no one can tell what our destiny is. So far the best that we can do is to do our best to perform well in our present job. The fact that we are hired on the particular job that we have right now, it only means that we are the perfect person for that job. Have a nice day!

We can never be sure of anything in life. Even if you chose something else, there's no assurance either that it will be fitting what you currently have now; you will also not be assured that it will make you happy. I do have these thoughts sometimes, but I just try to make the most of what I currently have. There is no sense in looking back and thinking those what-if's and what-could-have-been's; it will just slow me down. I am by no means an expert when it comes to career guidance, but maybe you can try to do something that you really like, but before quitting or switching, make sure that you already have a job that is waiting for you. It is one thing to be stuck in something that is not making you happy, and another thing entirely if you are stuck in a situation wherein you have no job.
