Many young people, faced with their choice of profession, need to seek vocational guidance to find out which choice they should make. It is normal for this to happen, because due to the huge range of professions in the labor market, opting for the one that will be definitive is not easy.
Many students, after taking a good part of the course, realize that they are not enjoying it, are full of doubts and insecurities, and do not think they are capable of performing in the profession.
If you're really not enjoying the new apprenticeship, changing your choice of profession is not a problem, nor is it a waste of time. It is preferable to change, being sure that there are no affinities with it and to seek the one that pleases you, than to spend the rest of your life unhappy with the choice.
However, it is important to differentiate if you are not enjoying the course or if you are finding it difficult. In this case, trying to study more, trying to clarify doubts with teachers and classmates will help a lot.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Learning requires some skills that are developed throughout the student career. The course's curriculum itself is already set up so that these happen gradually.
Another way to make sure of the choice is to seek information about the profession, visit places where it is exercised and talk directly with professionals in the area, clarifying doubts and discussing the market of Work.
So, don't change without thinking about giving up, but make sure your question is not about the given contents. in class, but regarding the profession itself, because giving up without trying, without developing your skills will be a loss and so much.
