Hello. I am sixteen years old, and I think that I have a big problem. I do not know what my life life vocation is, my "dream job". And this question suffers me for a long time. My parents tell me that I have two more years to university and I have time to choose. But I do not think that I will make it. Because I will do that job my whole life and to me, that is scary. I am a person that likes to enjoy in few things, but especially in playing football (soccer), and it isn't just for hobby, but some day I would like to be a professional player. Sometimes it is hard, because everybody say me that the schools is safer and that I let go that dream. But also I am a great student that would like to go to university and make my parents proud. And there is the problem, I'm afraid that if I choose soccer I will not make it and I will be failure. And I will disappoint everyone around. I know that both ways are difficult, but I am ready to take the pain... And I want, that when I'm old, I will look at my life and be happy and proud of myself. That's it, im ready for whatever it takes. Thank you.

Its your life, choose what you want to do. I am 15 and i want to become a vet, but like you said doing the same job for your whole life is scary. But i am passionate about animals so i figure why do anything else that i wouldn't enjoy? If you want to play soccer i say do it, You can always go to uni as a mature age student if you change your mind in the future. Just remember to keep your grades high :) Either way, you will not be a failure. If you choose soccer and it doesnt go as planned, who cares what other people say, its your life. I say do what makes you happy, and that seems like soccer but im not going to tell you what to do. :)
Hope this helps
