I seem to recall having replied to another of your threads on this subject? I'm sorry you find yourself in this difficult situation. When I was young, I had an opportunity to attend the Boston School of Music. Everyone said it was a crazy idea. So I attended a local 4 year state college instead. And eventually I went on to get a masters degree whereupon I spent my whole working life in a career I hated & also wasn't particularly well suited for.

What I'd like to suggest to you is that work takes up so much of a person's life that doing something you hate simply isn't worth it. It's really unfortunate you let other people talk you out of majoring in what you loved. Go ahead & be resentful & mad... for a short while. But then dig down & figure out how best to get yourself back onto a track you can love again. (As I once heard it phrased: "No matter how far you've travelled down the wrong road... turn back!) Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, that is I believe apropos:
