I apologize for not responding sooner. I remember feeling that I knew I had to change my career focus, but I was not sure if it was "possible". Now, the fact that I may have even wasted an hour deciding the possibility seems ridiculous. If the career path you have chosen is meant for you then it will fall into place. Co-op is an essential tool that can help you determine early on in your career if you could remain in this occupation for an extended period of time. Thank you for your comment.

I feel like a lot of students feel like the path they have taken isn't quite what they wanted. But, also I feel like these students continue on the career path because they feel like it is the "right" thing to do. I am glad you have switched and now are loving what you do, because i feel like in the end that is the most important thing. Again the scary thing is that without co-op you would not have had this change in heart. Maybe you would have graduated and felt like it was too late to switch after you had gotten real world experience. Good luck in your endeavors Mercedes,
