    Very true, more people should follow their dreams.

    I know a guy who was kind of forced into an IT university. His parents thought it would be a good fit, as he likes computers and videogames.

    He one day decided to quit and took some time off and started working in some fancy hotel kitchen as a temp job, while spending some time away from the family. Fast forward a couple years, he is now in culinary school and wants to become a chef. Needless to say he is happier and visibly has a better mental health as before.

      As someone who went from being miserable running a pizza kitchen, to my dream job of being a software engineer, I can’t fathom how anyone would want to go the opposite direction. Everyone has different preferences I suppose.

        No idea, also not my ideal preference, but he seem to like it, while he was miserable with the IT school.
