Feeling Lost With My Career Goals

I am currently working at the Medicaid Consumer Hotline for work while I go to school. I was going to school for Medical Billing and Coding, but as I was taking the courses and doing the work, I realized that I really did not enjoy what I was learning and realized that I probably won’t like the job that comes with it. Luckily, I’m within the grace period that I can drop out without financial repercussions.

I’m thinking about dropping out, and maybe taking a break from school for a while and just focusing on my job that I recently started. I’m just not sure if I want my current job to be my career, or if I eventually want to go back to school. If I were to go back to school, I’d want to pursue Psychology. I just thought getting certified in Medical Billing and Coding would be a fast track to a good career that I would like and I could work remotely, but it turns out that it didn’t work out that way for me.

I think I was just trying to appease my parents, and trying to quickly get settled into a career and school in order to appear and look successful and gain their approval, since I constantly seek approval from my parents a lot. I just need to find my own path, and it’s so hard to figure out what will work best for me and what I like.
