I know this advice can sound strange, but sometimes intuition is pointing in the right direction. People who love us oftentimes try to help us make good decisions, but they have a limit to what they can know. They only have their experience and their lives as reference. And their lives, naturally, are very different from ours.
Redditors under /askreddit started sharing experiences where they made decisions based on a gut feeling, and then proceeded to succeed.
I'm not saying you shouldn't consider anything before making a major life decision; you definitely should. But intuition exists for a reason, and it's better to fail at doing something you love than failing at something you don't, or so they say. What I mean is, traditional paths are not secure either, so if your future is not going to be secure anyway, better take the chance.
My grandmother always told me that I could change paths any time I wanted to, and as many times as I wanted to, and I took that to heart. There is no age limit to change, and every circumstance, as hard as it might seem, has in itself the possibility to untangle it.
So, if by reading this post, you feel a calling, or you remember a moment in your life when you made a major life decision using only your intuition and don't regret it, share it because I want to read it. I think the AI revolution and the rapidness at which our societies are changing call for a more 'spiritual' experience as human beings. The world has started to change its old functioning, so I think we should do the same.
