I initially really wanted to be an engineer or a data scientist. I am still young and I know I still have time going to the University. But for now, I think I should focus on saving first.

Supply chain is a great foundation that teaches logic and analytics. So I wouldn't really call it starting over but transitioning to other relevant paths. I would go for data analytics, it has a higher career ceiling.

Probably in the entertainment industry. Writing scripts is my hobby. How about you?

Hmm. I'd say brokerage. Or perhaps engineering.
