Interest in pursuing astrobiology but am not sure

Honestly! The only steps you can take are why the interests came to light within. Obviously something triggered you to wonder, being lost in wonder by pondering ideas are stepping stones to what might become your career. Take it from me, I dabble in a lot of different things, always keep up to date or time and again step into the process of learning a bit more. Although at times I find myself losing interest very fast, maybe because I am 46 years old now, it’s never to late they say, some truth lies in that case. I just fall back into what I know, even after my own body says enough is enough. Maybe it’s like a stage fright of sorts, going outside your own quest for knowledge and reasons why you need to know. Knowledge inquired is based on knowledge enhance as every step and stage has a purpose for you and the person/s you surround yourself by or what need it is to be able to relate to another that passes by after time. For you, you sound a lot younger, ask yourself a few questions, thee Universe is vast and very unique as it relates to so much of life on Earth. A equilibriums balance out there is an anatomical motion that stabilizes us as units of matter here. So! By saying that, if your fear only dictates because of a past effort and a challenge you think you failed because of one teacher that challenged you, may have planted enough seeds back then that May bloom and blossom as time has become a evolutionary period for it to of sunk in.

Good Luck
