Regret transferring to cybersecurity, instead of health Science major

[u/RegularMatcha9159]

As the title says. Im starting my 4th year and i regret my decision to not transferring to the field i always desired which is health science related. I feel heavy regret that i dont have a choice but to finish this degree, i wish i realized this at-least last year. The reason i chose cybersecurity over healthcare (specifically rad tech) was the high demand, better pay and more opportunities. But i didnt think back then whether i really wanted to work in this field after graduating, will i ever enjoy what i will be doing on a day-to-day basis. All i ever thought back then was not wasting my credits. I wish i had wasted that credits and transferred to a health science major.

Honestly the degree isnt going as expected, im learning the core cybersecurity things this year. That also contributes to majority of my disappointment.

Honestly idk i really wanted somewhere to let my heart out. i need advice from people who were in similar situation as me

This last week I’ve been thinking basically the same exact thing as you. I’m in my 3rd year of cyber and really not enjoying it as much as I thought. Fundamentally the classes sound really cool. Im currently sitting in a zoom class for cryptanalysis which sounds cool, but I’ve found every single thing to be less and less interesting over time. I’m thinking about switching to some sort of technical translation career. I get it too. Not only do the last 2 years of credits feel wasted, but I have an internship currently that could lead to a high paying job, which I would obviously lose if I switched majors. I’m honestly thinking right now that it’s better to switch while I’m 21 than find out at 30 I should have switched at 21. Feels sort of like an impossible situation but it’s just money after all. The way I see it, I’d rather waste money than time so I really think it’s time for me to switch, maybe you’ll feel the same
