I'm 20 and from Switzerland. Next week I start my Bachelors in Business Psychology. It's a not as generalist as Business Administration (we have too many of those) and Psychology is a topic I'm interested in, even better combined with business.
If you'd ask me a year ago, I would've told you that I won't ever go to university. There has to be another way. And there ARE other ways. But I don't have career capital or a specific business idea to work on, so that's why I decided to sign up. If you decide not to go, you have to have some direction and I don't want to fall into procrastination or waste time.
It's highly affordable in Switzerland which means no risk for me and as I wasn't completely clear in which direction I should move myself careerwise (took Life Purpose course a year ago), it was a logical next decision for me.
It was important to me not to feel pushed into a path not meant for me. I feel quite insecure about career, but from my current point of view I want to have the resources available, and get those resources in the least ignorant way as possible (some ignorance will be needed I guess). Well, maybe I leave after one semester, who knows. It's my next step and I'm going all in to see where it takes me.
Just recently, a 60 year old friend told me: „When you're young, just don't stick to the things you feel are not for you. That will save you a lot of time and energy.“
