Going Back to School

I am experiencing a quarter life crisis. After my first job, I realized that I took up a college course that I was not really passionate about. This may sound stupid, but I struggled to finish the course just to be over and done with it. What I really wanted to take up was fashion design, but this did not make sense to my parents. Do not get me wrong, I do not have anything against them. It's just that they encouraged me to take up a course that they think would better prepare me to face the corporate world.

It makes me wonder what would life be right now if I chose a different path. I do not think it's too late to chase my dream of being into fashion design. Luckily, in this Internet age, real online degrees exist. I can still work and go back to school by doing it online. People have more options now. No matter what age you are, you can still go back to school and finally do something you've always wanted to do. You do not have to suddenly leave everything behind. You can still stick to your current job and do the career shift gradually.
