This is me. I have been doing media studies but I don't feel it is the right world for me. I feel I want to join a caring profession - but which one? I am nearly 30 now and too old to study to be a doctor, which is the best option I think. What thoughts anyone?

You could still get in the medical/caring profession and make the most of your university course you have done so far. How about you finish through and get your doctorate? Say...a professor of philosophy?

Hi David, I did media studies and graduated last year - I found it really interesting and as you progress to the later courses you find it is applicable to quite a wide variety of industries/professions. I says, stick with it. Feel free to add me as a buddy if you want to talk more.

I guess my view on this is, If what you are doing is not what you want then change it, we only have one real shot at happiness, and success is not the only thing worth achieving, there is more to life than we think and happiness is something worth chasing.
We have to remember though that levels of happiness differ from person to person so what I really mean is, be true to yourself to find inner peace contentment, and fulfillment
