They're inherently smarter than I am and I doubt it has anything to do with my upbringing. I consider myself a bright kid, but mathematics has never been something I've been able to grasp at the pace that's necessary for me to have a career in the field. I'm disappointed that I had to give up the idea of becoming a physicist, or an astronomer, but it's probably in my best interests not to go after something I'm very likely incapable of achieving. And not even necessarily because of the time and effort I would need to "get it." I think most, if not everybody, is capable of understanding "difficult" concepts given they put the time, effort, and thought into them. But the amount of time, effort, and thought I would need to become a successful physicist outweighs my passion for the subject, so I wouldn't enjoy the process.

I am going to school to become an EMT. Not sure how many years I will stick with that.
Unrealistically, I want to produce and direct my own video games. Similar to watch Hideo Kojima does (he's kind of my idol).Realistically? I want to write the music or write the scripts for video games.

I wouldn't enjoy the process of slaving over painfully difficult mathematical and conceptual ideas for who-knows-how-many-years. It's not worth my time to do so much study for a job I wouldn't want to have. I don't know, I'm just going in undeclared and seeing where shit takes me.
