Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai is lost about her career path.
The activist, who is doing her final year at the prestigious University of Oxford, in the UK took to Twitter to share that she is not sure about what her career path will be.
“When I was younger, adults would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. At first, I would say a doctor. Then prime minister. Then, I just focused on getting into university & deciding what to study. Today, like a lot of young people, I’m not sure what my career path will be,” she wrote.
