I am graduating this year and I have don't really know what I should take next. I have the grades to get in to university but have only applied for college as I found nothing really interested me at my university. I applied for a 21-month fast track program in Power engineering. I feel I would enjoy this career as I like working with my hands. But on the other hand I feel i am making myself think i would like this field because of the salary that can be achieved.
I have always loved the outdoors and easily spend either 6 hour or even 12 hours+ outside every weekend wether it be in my kayak or metal detecting. I always find myself enjoying the outdoors. I never really took into consideration of taking geology at the university near me.
I then come to the conclusion of, well if I take power engineering I can be 20 and move out on my own and go work up north. A bonus to taking up this field is that the majority of the current workers are older. So within the next 5-10 years alot of them will retire causing a boom in this type of work.
On the other hand I think about taking geology as I like being outdoors, exploring, and working with my hands. I am in a dilemma right now.
So, my real question is, what made you choose your career path? Was is the job security in that path? The salary? Or just a gut feeling of "I think I will like this even though it may not be as financially rewarding as the other job."
