Answer 1

d This kind of setback happens, so Chantelle should look for a more appealing career.

Chantelle should not force herself to continue in a career that she has realized is not the right fit for her. It is important for her to explore other career options that align better with her interests and passions. It is better to find a career that she enjoys and excels in, rather than continuing in a program that she is not passionate about.
