Heart is saying S&T but brain is saying IB

I’m in a little dilema of picking between S&T and IB. I have always wanted to do S&T but the automation of the industry and the tightening of spreads is kind of worrying me about career security. I love keeping up with the markets and everything that comes with trading. I don’t mind doing IB and I know it’s a completely different animal. Has anyone else gone through this problem? Any insight would help.
