...psychologists from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign found that our interests in adolescence had only a point-five correlation with our interests later in life. This means that if a subject filled out a questionnaire about her interests at the age of, say, thirteen, and again at the age of twenty-one, only half of her answers remained consistent on both. And while people’s interests in college were more stable, correlating at just under point seven with their interests later in life, they, too, remained substantially malleable. What’s more, the researchers found that interest in some fields, such as sports, was far more stable than interest in others, such as science.
