[quote=Anonymous]Nobody on the internet or in real life, including your parents and your thesis advisor, can give you a solution to life. There’s no magic decree program or advice or subreddit that will give you instructions on what choices to make to build a life you find to be worth living. Other people can only share what has been helpful or meaningful to them, they can’t tell you what will help or be meaningful to you. The expectation that anybody other than you can “set you up” for life is the wrong mindset and is guaranteed to lead to disappointment. Do your best and expect a lot of muddling through. Pay attention to your desires and feelings, and also think critically about any solution or advice you’re offered. Accept uncertainty and a degree of failure. Try not to be so hard on yourself and others. Your parents could have pushed you to pursue some lucrative degree and to prioritize earning potential. You might still be stressed and even miserable!
