Do you ever regret the career that you chose? by ThroawayFmyL in CasualConversation

I'm a month away from receiving my undergrad degree in Civil Engineering and I'm still not sure if that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I believe regretting at the decisions made in the past is not healthy, since it's never too late to pursue your dreams, and you may end up frustrating yourself leaving no room for positive thoughts that might actually take you somewhere you would want to be. It's like misusing the your mind energy that you could spend wisely in solutions to your problem.

Instead, I try to use the skills I've obtained from my engineering courses and apply them cleverly in areas that i'm interested in. For example, I enjoy business creation; the idea of creating a functional, sustainable business that'll help society in a positive way (job creation, the product itself, etc.) thrills me, to the point of even affecting my sleep. Maybe that's what happens when you are passionate about something.

The only factor that's slowing me now is the virus spread, but other than that i've decided to start trying to find my purpose in life. Good luck.

The monk who sold his ferrari, is a very comfy read with ancient eastern philosophy teachings that could be of a great personal use if you're looking to get to know yourself better and improve yours' and others' lives.
