Can I suggest based on what you’ve posted already, that you put the question of your career to one side for a few years. You seem to be at the early stages of planning but you only have limited information to input to that plan for example, you have identified a few things you enjoy doing but what about those hundreds of things that you will enjoy doing that you haven’t discovered yet.
You have been involved in education but it doesn’t stop in your mid twenties, in other words you may not have hit upon the subject you really want to study yet. AFAIK there is no FUA for life that you have to sign up to. You can make it whatever you want and you may not yet be best placed to decide what to make it.
Imagine if you never stated work in your chosen career until you were thirty, that still leaves you with a working life of 40 years or so and at least three different careers the last of which, probably doesn’t even exist yet.
Take you time, you are twenty, there is no rush. Have some fun, bum around, do lots of different jobs and travel if you want to but – OUTSIDE OF AMERICA – there is a whole world out there full of great people to meet. And the purpose of doing all this? To provide you with the information about the world and yourself you currently lack, that will assist you in starting a career but only when you are ready and not before.
BTW sack your counsellor and use this forum, I am sure the posters here will provide better counselling than the current waste of space you are using. Don’t use her just because she is there, that is the worse thing you could do.
