| That's a good strategy! I used gen ed to test out law since I was interested but very quickly decided that was a no. Gen eds are also good for bridging gaps too, I didn't remember much chemistry from school so I did a chem gen ed this summer that I've just finished just to feel a bit more confident |

| For sure. I'm in a weird spot since I'm already enrolled at a university for fall.. but I was hoping to at least try something out in the summer beforehand, and use gen ed courses as an opportunity to pick out things to try. |

| I totally understand that, I still feel that pressure now especially since I'm not working while studying right now. You can also look into certificates or online courses that are shorter/lower pressure if there was something you were really curious about. |

| Moon, interesting! I really struggle with allowing myself to take that sort of time to explore- I have so many financial goals it's hard to set them aside so I can first get things moving and then focus on it later. |

| All that to say take your time and if you are passionate about something see if there's a field that includes that lol! |

| Nope I worked full time in various roles for years before studying. I technically didn't earn university entrance from my schooling system so I would have had to bridge or wait until I was a 'mature' student. I have worked in a lot of casual and seasonal roles to see different fields. I do have late diagnosed ADHD though so I did lack direction for a long time lol. But I always loved horse color genetics ironically, had horses from a young age and that lead me into genetics as a whole. Psych was.. a lived experience thing but I quickly decided being a therapist isn't what I wanted so I discovered behavioral psychology and research avenues rather than clinical. I'd love to do genetic counselling but I would have to do my masters overseas which unfortunately is not an option so I will eventually have to choose to do psych or bio for my masters if I chose to do it |

| Moon, what sort of life experience helped you in that, and for you did that mean taking a break from uni or staying and investing time in internships and such? |
| Moonlight Equestrian |
| Zrek It took me a long time! I've changed my degree three times before settling, but I always recommend life experience first before studying so you aren't stuck doing something you hate. Also, once you do start studying you learn so many things that are out there, so many fields I never knew were an option! So, often the more you study the easier it is to narrow down what you want to do |

| Yeah it was all agreed that when I returned to uni since I'm a 'mature' student that my hours would reduce (contract and all) but it became too hard for them so they tried the whole 'we will make you quit instead of firing you' act and I had to deal with lawyers, it was such a huge and avoidable drama in the end but I still value the experience I had |
