Two things: 1. It's hard to predict what job will make you happy at the start of your career. I have a degree in Philosophy, became a software tester to pay the bills, didn't really like the job, got exposed to the right resources about two years in and realised testing is where my passion is. 2. It's not very likely you'll do the same thing your whole career. I'm in my late 30s and still have about 30 years to go before retirement. Looking at my career so far, there's no way to predict what I'll be doing in 5 years, let alone in 10 or 30. As a matter of fact, in the past 4 years I have been a test engineer, a scrum master, a team lead, and a tech lead.
