I think you need to stop seeking validation. Something is holding you back from accomplishing what you feel you want to do.
You asked a question about being a comedian, lots of people on here said you shouldn’t, then you went on to another interest. You need to go out and figure out whether these things fit you or not, instead of asking us. Or, if you do ask us, don’t let it 100% sway your opinion. (Not doing it because a few said you shouldnt)
You want to take native studies then transfer to Philosophy? Sit down, look into what all that means, talk to people who are in philosophy, get information from people who’ve experienced it. If you like it, do it.
My point is, instead of just talking about doing these things, and asking for people’s opinions and advice, go out and actually do what you want. Experiment.
@johnpowell said that it isn’t a risk to fail unless you are putting a lot of cash in.
If you are considering spending a lot of money on something, then yes, make sure you are 100% positive that’s what you want to do. But, asking people online for their individual, personal opinions won’t do you any good unless they’ve had actual experience in that field/subject.
The worst that could happen? You find out it isn’t what you want to do and you move on from there.
Go out, live your life, experience new things, and don’t constantly ask for others’ opinions or validation. It won’t matter unless it’s a fact.
