Which path should I take?

Question

Okay, listen I really need your help guys!

In September I start my last year of school, and everyone expects that due to the my ability in science I will go to university and get a degree in chemistry, and that would be cool I guess. But at the same time I've been told I have great acting talent by my family and teachers, and some of my friends at the local drama club with which I put on plays with have suggested that I go into acting, and that would be really good to. At the same time I'm a self confessed patriot with a love of aviation and would consider joining the RAF, though I've told no-one because my mum would kill me if she found out about it, though my dad would be OK with it.

Please help me!

Answer 1

I would pick science

Answer 2

The best advice anyone could ever give you is to tell you to "do what you love and love what you do."  Ultimately it is your life to live and you are the one that has to set that alarm clock, get dressed, and go out the door to work every morning.  Make your destination one that you are happy and excited to get to, not one that you dread.  If you have the drive and ambition, go out and get what it is you want out of life because your parents will be happy if you are happy in the end!

Answer 3

If you took a certain path just to please others in your life then what would be the use? Why should you be unhappy in your own life just because it makes others happy? Follow your heart but keep in mind job oppurtunities, money , and availability of certain jobs.  

Answer 4

try a little of everything and pick the one that makes you feel happiest!!

Answer 5

If you do some real "soul searching," then you should follow the path that you will be happiest with doing.  You do what you would find the best to do for you.  After all, it's your life we're talking about!
