Me literally 3 days into the semester: do I really need a second degree. Am I actually passionate about urban planning and want a career in it or can I be happy working a "regular job" amd save myself the extra thousands of dollars of tuition. Or am I just overwhelmed.

will I ever actually be passionate about a career? It seems that as soon as something becomes work I lose my interest in it. Will I be better off getting any office job and using my money to pursue my passions outside of work?

I thought going back to school would be good, I'd be busy and have stuff to do etc but now the idea of going through years more of schooling seems incredibly daunting (and expensive). And I'm wondering if it's really worth it.

I wonder if I made the decision to go back to school simply because I was afraid of coming home from spain with no job or work prospects in line and felt that I absolutely needed something to do when I got back.

#lots to ponder and cry about lol #i have a pointless BA in psych and i feel like i have no useful work skills or qualifications to get a job lol #growing up i thought id be someone with a quote unquote real career that im passionate about #and i feel like i have this recurring theme where i convince myself that every new interest of mine is my lifes passion and that #yes ! finally! ive found my career path #but in reality i think i would be happy doing any job as long as i earn a decent salary and get to relax when i come home and have enough #money to pursue my hobbies and travel #like should i just go into insurance or human resources and get a standard 9 to 5 #i grew up quote unquote smart and always put pressure on myself to succeed #but success looks different for everyone #can my definition of success just include having my own apartment and being comfortable in life?
