Since youth, people ask you what you intend to be when you grow up. At this point of your life, the answer is quite easy. You want to be a ballerina, a doctor, an actress, an astronaut,… . You don`t need to think hard to find out. No one expect you to say something as “I want to be an economist” or “I want to find the cure for cancer”. You are too young for those things, and they are just asking, they don`t think you are really wanting to be any of this.
But time passes, and they still ask you the same old question, but now, they want a real answer, they will advice you to be this or that, they will try to convince you what is better for your future. They will start to pressure you so you will chose a job in which you will win a lot of money. Some will let you make the decision on your on, just giving advices if you ask them; others will keep asking and forcing you to come to a decision. They don`t do that on purpose, they are just worried with your future, others are just curious, since it`s normal, when you get in a certain age, to have already found out what you will be.
And time passes even more, this time you have no way back. You MUST decide what you will be, because the vestibular is knocking at your door. You are just one step from University. The childish dreams of being an actress or a ballerina have faded a long time ago, or are even stronger. You start to thinking at the possibility of being a professor, an engineer, a layer, a scientist. You search about the job, you think about the chances of earning money with your future job. You think about just how much you would love to do one thing or another. And people keep asking you that same old question, and making pressure on you.
Finally the day has come, you make your decision and make them proud, or make them think about just what the hell they will do with you. But you are independent now, you can be on your on and won`t need them anymore. And your future is in your hands. It’s a big responsibility that life has given you, but there is no way back. You can`t be insecure, it`s not going to be as it is when you were practicing, if you make a mistake, you won`t be able to erase it and try again, only in the next year.
Those are the risks. You well may be too young to do such a hard decision. But that is life. And you have to get used to it.

But how will you know? Even when you’re in, how do you know you made the right decision? Do you ever?
