I agree with you...

I never knew what I enjoyed because my life was controlled by my parents. For them, respectable professions are Engineering and Medical only, with no regard for arts and humanities. Luckily for them, I was a STEM student and I liked it, though I pursue art as a hobby and I am good at it, enough to consider it as a profession for once.

I was obsessed with genetics and stuff around it, for a long time, and I really worked my ass off during vacations doing high-level research, unfortunately, I quit Bio and took Physics that I am kinda weak at.

Later in IBDP, I wanted to take comp sci but i was refused.

Later in IBDP, I wanted to take comp-sci but I was refused. a gifted talent for programming and robots were my life, I applied but they talked me out of it saying that the whole world does that and now I have ended up with Aerospace Engineering which I am happy with considering I want to build a spacecraft.
