I NEED HELP
I NEED HELP
OK so i have to go back to the end of junior high to get started. After junior high, I was supposed to choose between either biology or computer stream for my higher studies. This was a huge dilemma for me. Because I wanted to be a doctor or a vet during almost all of my childhood. More preferably a vet. But I also wanted my career to be such where I get to code and work with computers. But I didn't know wack about coding and programming(still don't). Because of my inexperience in the field of programming, I decided to go for biology. After two years of high school, I joined an institute that preps you for a nation wide exam called neet (This is a gateway to both MBBS/MD and BVSc/vet). I didn't pass through the first year. So, I decided to drop again(that was last year). So this is basically my fourth year of studying the same content(yes neet has the entire high school syllabus as it syllabus). 15 million students take this exam every year and only 10k gets selected. So it's a really competitive exam. I was so bored and tired with revising the same content over and over again. My exams were supposed to be over by may. Thanks to the fucking pandemic, it was postponed to September 13. But I couldn't take it anymore. I was so fed up with this. So, I decided to learn python and other languages for a change. But one day, out of nowhere we were asked to leave the campus within 3 hrs because of the nation wide lockdown. So, after I came home I decided to just take a snoop at careers in programming and coding instead of actually learning them and I came across data science. I was so attracted by it, I wanted to pursue that instead of vet.
And now I am still at that state. My exams may be postponed again. Remember that I haven't enrolled in any college after high school. Basically Im a high school graduate rn. Im totally confused on whether I should continue going down this path or if I should pursue data science.
Now there are many stuff i need to over look before i make a choice.
1)I spent like 2000 USD over the past two years to prepare for neet. So dropping now would be similar to burning that 2000 USD and two years of my life.
2)An IIT (equivalent to MIT of US) is offering an online degree in Data Science and Programming, I could easily get enrolled in this. Im supposed to do it parallel and along with any other BSc/BA course.
3) It's impossible to pursue vet and this course from IIT at the same time because of how hard vet curriculum is. Although I can complete this online course anytime between 3-6 years. So it's not impossible, but i would mostly end up losing more years. On top of that vet college hostels dont allow laptops in their premises, so i can't take my online classes if im staying in a hostel. There are only two vet colleges in my state, both of them are far away from my home. So, I cant stay at my home either.
4) I really wanna pursue data science but I would have wasted 2000 USD and two years of my life. On top of that there are people waiting to see me fail. By fail, I mean not getting enrolled to a vet college.
idk what im supposed to do. Just wanted to get this off my heart. I would really appreciate if anyone of you could help me reach a decision.
