I have no idea what "music technology" or "media & communication" are - they sound like weekend hobbies rather than something one would study as part of full-time education.

As far as I can see, you have not taken any "career path" because you have not started any career, merely spent time in in full-time education studying non-subjects because you were more worried about being away from home, whether "black" people work in certain professions, and whether you were capable of obtaining the academic qualifications necesary to study a particular subject at degree level.

Can I suggest that you find out what a variety of adults do for a living in real life, and then get more information from the professional institute or body related to the field that most interests you, including recommended studies and likely career paths.

That is more likely to be of benefit to you than posting on this website for careers guidance.

You couldn't be more patronizing if you tried. She's young, not an idiot.

@Mi$$- Lots of people change their career paths when they're in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Incidently, i feel like I've made the wrong choice with my dissertation topic but I'm still gonna do it and not allow myself to be held back by the decision and you dont have to either.

If you know in your hart of hars that you will not be happy with your current choice, then you owe it to yourself to pursue your dream. Sometimes the journey to get there can be a little scary when it seems like there are unfamiliar obstacles to get through but don't ever think than you simply can't do it. Just bite the bullet and go through.

Just to clarify on an earlier point made in this thread, what you study at university is more often the START of your career path so yes, its important to choose wisely. secondly, music technology and media&communications are worlds apart from eachother (i know cos i study the latter lol) and as far as career paths go, its more than viable- not just a hobby.so if you do decided to go back to it, don't ever be discouraged but the belief that its "just a hobby" and "not a proper subject" (many tried to tell me the same). Just trust your instincs and follow both your heart and mind.
