Any other recent grads or undergrads go through this in finance?

I was always super competitive and all i wanted to do was get into IB and do anything else that's competitive/prestigious just because it was in fact competitive/prestigious.

But now, i realized the more I study on my free time the more boring I find it. Since I don't actually have a genuine passion or liking (i dont dislike it) for finance, It actually feels like im pushing myself to study/learn stuff.

Anyone ever felt like that? Assuming you're doing it for the same reasons as myself (competition,prestigious,money). Shit gets boring to me and id rather be using my work ethic to start my own business than learn about how to model.
