What career/degree should I choose?

Asked by letmeknow17 (97points) November 30th, 2015 from iPhone

I’m currently having trouble choosing a degree/career. This is mainly because of the negative comments I read online from people in the field. I have been bouncing around with the choices of Dental hygienist, Accounting/Finance, Law, and a few others. Now when I look up the most important factors to me for each of these fields which are Job Outlook and Demand I come across good numbers. This leads me to believe it would be a good career investment along with my interests in the field anyway. This changes when I go to read peoples opinions of the field. The same comments are made for almost any field I have an interest in. “The field is saturated choose something else.” “If I could go back in time and change careers I would.” “Don’t do it there aren’t any jobs today!” What should I do if the statistics say one thing but the people say another?
