God, doesn't that potential/uncertainty suck?

Here are three pieces of advice people have given me that I've found very helpful:

1 - You don't have to pick just one. Think of what you might like to do now, or first, instead of what you might want to do forever.

2 - What is really holding you back? Is it possible that you're worried about not being as successful at something as you hope, and you've protecting yourself from finding out by considering so many choices that you're paralyzed?

3 - Try making a list of each option you're considering and writing up all the pros and cons and why you'd like to do it and how you'd do it and what you'd get out of it, etc. Then compare items and see which are the most plausible.

Maybe helpful, maybe not -- I hope the former.
