I am currently a final year student in a university studying I.C.T. Lately, I have come to realize this course is not for me(after years of trying to force myself to accept it). Due to my lack of interest in this course, I have become unserious, uncompetitive and somewhat lazy; though i still maintain more than average grades, It takes a lot of will spirit to be able to motivate myself to study and maintain these good grades. I love education, and have always been an excellent student since primary school. 10 years ago I had one of the best potentials among my peers, but right now I don't even want to wake up anymore. I battle with depression everyday. All my dreams, the future I dreamed of, everything seems to be falling apart.

I would like to study Electrical Engineering (Power systems or Control Systems) at MSc level . I am planning on pursuing this degree in universities in America, Canada or Western Europe on a scholarship basis. I am quite scared as my first degree is not in Engineering.

I know there are lots of professionals and graduate students on Nairaland, and I would be extremely grateful if you can share a piece of advice with me.

Talent is an illusion. What do you enjoy doing?

when I was younger, I enjoyed dismantling electrical appliances, and figuring out they worked. I was curious about physics and science. now, the whole vibe has reduced,and when i got older I think I became more of a 'Jack of all trades person'. I feel I am just that young smart guy who has a lot of dreams, but hasn't yet figured out what he really wants to become in Life. I feel I am not living life. I feel I am without a purpose.

I have sat down countless number of times and thought about this. I feel I don't have any talent. There are some things I often get passionate about , but after some period of time the whole vibe and impetus gradually die off. Nairalanders, have you ever been in such a situation? How were you able to discover your talent(s)? Is it necessary your choice of career path has to match with your talent? Please your comments can save a life


P.S

This is a preamble of a much more complex problem(dilemma) in my life which I will share subsequently here.
