Feeling regret after choosing the “wrong” bachelor degree?
As the title says, I kind of regret my bachelor choice: International Business Management at Artevelde. I’m 21 and graduated during the first semester of this academic year.
To be honest, the degree was barely challenging for me. The semester abroad was easily the highlight of the entire experience, but apart from that, I often feel like I could have spent the last three years doing something far more meaningful, useful or at least just challenging. Something that would directly lead to a stronger career path or challenge me intellectually.
The issue is that I struggle to stay genuinely interested in things long term. Recently though, I’ve become really interested in AI and machine learning, and I’ve been spending a lot of my free time learning about it. Also because it is in the rise and I understand that it will undoubtedly make a big part of our future. At the same time, I’m currently doing a bridging program for a master’s degree that does align with my bachelor, but I still keep questioning whether it’s actually the right path for me.
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Feeling like they chose the wrong degree, or only discovering what truly interests them later on?
Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated.
