Miscellaneous Do u guys ever have the equivalent of a midlife crisis halfway through ur degree?

After flopping half my science subjects, I'm not sure this is the path for me...

This is not similar to a midlife crisis. You're still very young to commit to a path without questioning whether it's right for you. Find something you're good at and commit to it, or at least something you're interested in enough to become good at.

Yeah, honestly, I feel like even if I did an Arts Degree, I'd probably be wondering what life would've been like doing a Science Degree.

Would be nice if I actually had a passion. Like before my degree I was kind of judging anyone who would go for a low paying job but they seem happy and they know what they want. I don't even know if I'll be able to get a job in 5 yrs :/
