I wonder if anybody can help or offer any advice. I'm 34 and trying to work towards going to university (UK). I'm currently home studying for qualifications I need to apply to study Occupational Therapy after spending perhaps almost a year researching the profession. I always feel somewhat anxious and indecisive with everything in my life, just the way I am I guess, but I decided on this path.
I've met with an OT to ask questions about what it's really like and currently waiting to hear from several places I have applied to do some shadowing. It's very hard to get this as there's a lot of demand for shadowing in healthcare professions. I spent several months contacting hospitals and other places and am only just now getting anywhere with the shadowing, but still have to wait perhaps another month for a decision regarding a possible week's placement.
Throughout all of this I've been wondering if I really want to do this or if my interest will pass, as it does with other things sometimes. I'm sure fellow INFPs can understand that? Thing is... I'm old. In terms of going to university at least. I was really sick a few years ago but thankfully made it through, which is another reason I want to do something and not waste time. But that's also a reason not to waste time doing something I don't really want to do.
I'm so confused. Apologies for the whiny sounding post. Can anybody offer any direction?
