AD, I've had the same experience as you recently and I hope I can help you. First of all, focus on what's infront of you. You talk of that program oppurtunity which sounds brilliant. That's a testimony to you pal, for your abilities to be offered that chance. You really don't have to worry about a make or break decision. It's never too late to do what you want to do. Remember: "Some of the most interesting people I know didn't know, at 22, what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't" Whatever you decide now, Ad, will not decide your future, but it will allow you to have an experience. An experience you can learn from, build upon and keep hold of forever. I'm going to a university to study "Law & American Law" which allows for a year studying in America. That, to me, is something I really want to experience, while putting me in good stead with a respected degree. But I'm not entering the law proffession, probably not even business. You know what's the first thing I'm going to do after that course? Try and become an actor. Pursue my first love. I'll endeavour to do something I love, with the knowledge of having a safety in something I believe I'll be good at and also enjoy. What I guess I'm trying to say is, by choosing something, it doesn't shut the door for something else. It always remains open to those who are strong willed, ambitious and seem to be the level headed, friendly natured person you appear to be on these forums. Pursue something you really want to pursue. Then go for it 100%. You owe it to yourself and I'm sure in whatever you choose, you'll make the very most of it, AD :)
