  Let you choose...do you want to choose a job that have more professional prospect eg. engineering, accounting..
  Or would you choose a job that you like more but have no promising career eg. fine arts, music???

  we have choices, don't we?

  sometimes we do, sometimes we dun..
  
  like I hate what I am studying now, but I can't possibly turn back time and I can't change my major due to my parents and my sponsor...
  
  so is there a choice but to endure and continue doing sth I hate?
