21M, third year undergrad student graduating 3 semesters late. Did CS for two years and switched to EE but quickly losing interest in that as well. My mind wanders way too much for me to focus on classwork but also to even get my aspirations in order, I'm constantly fantasizing about what "x" career would be like before eventually getting bored and moving on to the next exciting-sounding thing. I genuinely cannot fathom and have huge respect for how some people can go into fields like medicine where you basically have to decide from age 18 to dedicate yourself to that shit for the next 10+ years and actually succeeding. I want to be like that but my low IQ normie brain is preventing me from doing so.
Will ADHD meds fix this or is it just over?

X ray tech. 2 years school, $30/hour starting pay, and you probably have most the prereqs done. It's not that hard and you can easily go into more specialized imaging when you get bored. The technology is always changing

Figure out what you want to do with life, this is a good age to do it.
Go fuck around.
Read some Aaron Clarey "Reconnaissance Man"

Honestly I've been pretty successful career-wise just following my current interest and doing something until I'm too bored to continue. I'm at a point where I've collected a rare enough variety of skills that companies are competing for me. Point being, not being satisfied doing one thing for the rest of your life isn't the worst problem in the world. You just have to do things long enough that the experience becomes valuable before moving on.

finish your degree.

simply stop doing that. you can fantasise once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times. at one point do these fantasies become completely pointless even as thought experiments?

Find a subfield you find interesting in electrical engineering. You can dedicate your life to it by doing a PhD, they're well compensated as well
