then on the other (third) hand, i'm believing more and more each day, that you can never really know what a job is like, until you've finally seen/done it. so you might idealise something and regret your whole life that you didn't pursue it harder, but maybe if you do choose it, you will get disillusioned and you'll see it's not quite your cup of tea. so the bottom line is, you can never really know until you've tried it.

I agree. It´s nice to say all the time "if I had done that, my life would be so much better", and still never know what that would be really_like. Of course, when people have an absolut urgent feeling they should choose a certain kind of education/study/work, that´s like a fire in the night and shows them what they want.
But if in doubt, one should try to do the other alternative, maybe as a hobby/volunteering/work during holidays, so one would see a bit how it´s like.
I did turn one of my interests into a hobby, and after some years of doubt and agonizing, I´m now pretty sure that it´s a good hobby but not a great job, first of all because I very likely couldn´t do that anymore when I´m 45 and it´s not as "universal" as my main studies, it absolutely doesn´t fit into some other major life necessities. Also it can turn away a lot of fun when you do your hobby as main job. Surely that depends on what the topic is, I don´t say my thoughts work with everything, but for me this was the case.
So I´m glad I tried it because it helped me deciding and prevents a ton of "what_ifs" for the rest of my life.
PS: oh yeah, election sucked. Now it´s more unclear & unstable than before, congratulations, just the opposite of what was the whole intention in these forced-early elections. What do we do now, another one until the result is right?
But it also showed pretty clearly at least that not so many people really want that terrible woman becoming chancellor (not because she´s a woman, just she´s terrible...)
