Exactly.
How many kids leave High School and head to college thinking I want to do this or do that. I want to be an engineer, I want to be a doctor, I want to play sports at the next level, I want to be a teacher.
How many of them once they get there decide this thing or that thing isn't for me. I will change from an engineer to a business degree; or I thought I was gonna like going to University of Kentucky but it is to big for me I want a smaller school experience; or I thought I wanted to play sports but I found that it really wasn't what I expected.
I bet well over half (probably more like 70%) of the kids that go to college, military, or straight into a vocation end up modifying their initial plans to some extent or another. I imagine this young man was no different than the MAJORITY of other 18-20 year olds that do the exact same thing - change their mind.
This is a young man doing what most of us have already done, change direction. Heck I am 10 years from retirement and think about a another career path almost every week.
Good luck young man, nothing to be ashamed about that is 100% for sure.
