   You have to just commit. Worst thing you can do is paralysis by analysis, that’s how years go by with nothing to show for it

   Unfortunately, I think the best way to find out if a path is right is by doing it.

   It took me years of pursuing something before I fully understood the big picture of that career path – my blind spots and the fundamental limitations of that path. It was something I simply did not have the context or experience to imagine or anticipate when I was 17 and picking out majors.

   I picked a very practical but somewhat “unideal” path for myself as a teen (engineering when I was an artistic kid), but I was able to iteratively pivot and slowly adjust my next steps based on experience until I got to a niche that I was pretty well suited for. I also ended up being extremely successful on this path. So, it’s possible to take this approach. Don’t sweat the initial decision beyond choosing something you are decent at that pays well, and be proactive in adjusting where you apply based on experience and skill set.

   When that first career path ended due to circumstances outside of my control, I took a totally different strategy: I took my time and dabbled in about 5 different areas that, conceptually, were a better fit for my interests, but less practical careers. That, interestingly, did NOT lead me to any fulfilling opportunities. I saw the really tough side of pursuing your dreams. But I learned A LOT about real life. I became less idealistic and more rooted in reality, and feel like I matured a lot as well.

   With hindsight, I’m at a point where I recommend: first, pursue the career which is aligned well with your talents. If you have many talents, pursue the career that’s a bit more prestigious or difficult to achieve (many barriers to entry and intellectually the most challenging) when you are young. Go for it, because your youth is the window of primary opportunity and energy for these paths. If you are choosing between two equally difficult paths, choose the one with more financial freedom.

   That being said, it’s easy for me to say “go practical” when I’ve had the experience of testing my ability to pursue the impractical creative lifestyle as well. Everyone has to test for themselves and decide for themselves what’s next. Whatever path you choose, you will learn something valuable. And whatever path you choose, you will also find the downsides and become disenchanted. No career is perfect 🙂
