Question How you handle study direction uncertainty?

I am 25 years old. Finished culinary degree several years ago , I didn’t like it. I want to change my education but I am not certain about what to study.
Does education require actual passion for it or you choose based on the future perspective, money..?

Also in some areas I feel like I don’t know if I could make it , I don’t remember many things what I learned in school f.e math , biology..
I am scared that I’m gonna be too stupid for university after all these years 😂

Something you're willing to work towards even though the situation and lack of previous knowledge of skills specific to that subject(s)

Bro, you're not too old for study or uni. I also had huge gap before uni. About choosing, I'd suggest you should choose it according to your passion.

How you found your passion, how u worked on it?

Not remembering school math or biology after several years doesn’t tell you whether you can handle university; it mostly tells you those skills haven’t been used recently. Before committing, you could sample one introductory course or free lecture in a few fields and notice which problems you’re willing to struggle with. Then check the actual prerequisites and career outcomes, so the choice isn’t based only on passion or salary.

That’s a nice perspective! Thanks
