I'm not sure what kind of volunteering you could do, if any, but it wouldn't hurt to look into it!

Personally, I switched what I wanted to do too, and still don't know what I want to do! I thought I wanted to be a pharmacist, but the competition to get into the college and limited funds meant I had to switch to something I knew I could get into immediately and finish. I was always good at math and science so I switched to Engineering After a year and some more financial setbacks, I switched to a smaller tech school to take Engineering Technology. After 5 years of work I am glad I just took the diploma course and not a full-fledged degree, because I know now this isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life!

So I totally recommend research and volunteer work or job shadowing before you decide!

Job shadowing showed me that nursing was not for me. That is when I decided to do teaching. Lol. I learned a LOT in just a few hours. Very good advice here!
