It seems pretty common to have this crisis about career aspirations/ future in general. As someone said earlier, maybe you could look into some of the foundation courses?

I initially wanted to be a Teacher. My mother was one, her sisters are both teachers and principals now, their parents were teachers and principals. It seemed like the way for me to go! Then I got to the crunch time of picking my course, and I went with Psychology instead. I also did this under a Bachelor of Arts - so yeah it seemed like the coffee making life was to be my destiny. But I thought long and hard about why I wanted to be a teacher, and I realized it was just the expectation I had placed on myself over the years. It always seemed natural to follow the same path as my family - yet I was drawn to Psychology, the study of behaviour, analyzing people - weird experiments and all.

So I studied what I was drawn too, rather than what I had expected to study. Sure enough, graduated and moved on with life. But thankfully I work for the NZ Government, and I'm very thankful to be where I am - though I wouldn't put it down to the degree itself getting me the job. BAs are extremely common in my generation where tertiary education is the expected route.

In saying that, are you wanting to study animation/graphic and turn it into a career? Do you think you can? What other hobbies or interests do you have?

It's definitely not unheard of to change your major. And it's still early days in your student career!
