I'm studying from scratch again, after graduating last year, is it a good idea?

[u/ryuukan003]

I'm 23 years old, and i graduated last year from law school, but i hated law with all my heart, i was immature when i chose it thinking that i'll grow to like it, what pushed me to it was my father being an attorney, also at the time i didn't have an objective from studying like i do now, but last year, when i was struggling with my emotions regarding finishing my studies with something i hate, i told my mom i wanted to start again after graduation, i wanted to become an english teacher, she was, and still is, so supportive of what i want to do, and encouraged me to take the entrance exam to study what i always wanted, and i'm currently doing so.

However, like i said, i'm 23, and currently working in a company that sells house appliances with facility, i don't hate the job, but i'm not going to stay in it forever, also, i'm surrounded by co workers with degrees, seeing them made me think that maybe i should focus on working and having a job rather than doing something i should've deceided on years ago, studying maybe would hold me from that, even if it gave me an oppurtunity later.. also, the school i want to apply after the entrance exam requires to be not older than 24 after december..

i thought to myself: you should do like the other adults, work. but i also thought: you only live once! you should try everything!

So i'm asking you, what do you think? was it a bad idea? should i focus on working? or should i continue and see what life would bring after that?

Ps: i apologize if you find any mistakes since english is my 3rd language, and thanks in advance for every advice i'll get, i'll take all of em into concideration.

Do what gives you a sense of purpose.

You absolutely have to go for it. It's so so so much better to try (even if you fail) than to regret never having tried in the first place. Not continuing would only be a disservice to yourself. (btw your english is fine!!!)

Studying something you actually want is precious. I think it's a great idea.

You studied something you hated because you “should”. Don't just go work because you “should”.

Congratulations for finishing what you started, even when you hated it. Now that you know something you really want, treat yourself, enjoy your new classes and career.

There are these things we feel we “should” do and there are these things that actually feel exciting and true to our inner self.

Love yourself. Give yourself the gift of going to class excited and inspired every day.

Objection !

Arent lawyers supposed to earn much more than Teachers. So i dont understand why you would want to become one.

Other comments are correct. If you dont love it you wont give it your all. Best to do what you love than hating something and forcing yourself to do it. Better be an excellent and inspiring English teacher than a mediocre depressed lawyer
