No. 90% of the choices you make are because you were given the wrong information. I was 55 when I went to college in the USA.

I wanted to do a trade. I asked someone where I could do a trade. They told me that there was no longer such things as a trade school in the USA - that they had been replaced by community college. So I went there, and I was interviewed and told to do some tests.

They kept asking me what I was interested in. I kept telling them I just wanted to do something for which there was a high demand. In the end, the degree was a complete fucking waste of time.

As I am austistic, it is difficult for me to know things that other people knew.

Regardless of how clever you think you are, your parents passed on some essential information to you. Most parents pass on the wrong data to their children.
