Friends have always had a strong impact on your decisions. It's time to become more independent. Instead of asking others for their opinions, obey your own conscience. You've been blessed with a powerful intuition. Let it be your guide in all matters. The sooner you stop seeking the approval of others, the happier you will be. If you've been thinking about pursuing an unconventional job path, go for it. Being happy is more important than fitting in with mainstream society.
