I recently graduated with a BA in History, and I can't shake the feeling of regret about my educational choices. At 30 years old, I've faced significant challenges due to my autism and gender dysphoria, which have impacted my ability to focus and succeed academically for most of my life. I struggled through community college, took years to complete my associate's degree, and even failed math multiple times. After a two-year gap during COVID, I returned to a four-year state school, changing my major several times before finally settling on History. Despite making the Dean's List twice and improving my GPA from 2.1 to 2.96, I still feel dissatisfied. People celebrate my degree, but I don't want to pursue a career in teaching, museums, or any of the typical paths associated with History. I regret not focusing on math and science, as I believe those fields offer better financial opportunities. I see my peers owning homes and building families while I struggle to make ends meet as a part-time security guard earning $17.11 an hour. I'm currently training to become a 911 operator, which pays $24.96 an hour, but I'm apprehensive about the demanding hours and potential burnout. I dream of getting a second undergrad in a STEM field at a better school, possibly even an Ivy League institution, but I feel stuck and unsure how to move forward. Any advice from others who have regretted their major would be greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for a way to turn my life around and find a career that provides financial stability.
