It's common to lose interest in a subject like microbiology after your bachelor's for several reasons:

- Mismatch with expectations: The actual coursework or career options may not have matched what you imagined.
- Shift in career goals: You may have discovered new interests or found other fields more appealing.
- Lack of engagement: If the classes or lab work didn't inspire you, motivation can fade.
- Job market concerns: Worries about job opportunities or growth in microbiology can influence your decision.
- Exposure to new interests: Discovering other subjects or industries might have sparked a change.

If you'd like to explore new fields that fit your current goals, your Leap counsellor can help.
