It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.
When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.
I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).
People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.
Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.
