I'm a little stuck on what I want to major in....
I realize that people change majors all the time but I think I want to go beyond my bachelor's. It's just that I don't want to find myself having wasted money/years of my life studying for something that I ended up not liking.
So my question is....did anyone have this kind of problem deciding on a major?
How difficult was it for you to decide on your major?
The biggest problem I had was the people trying to force me to pick one.
Hello! There are people who are 40 who don't even know what they want to do.
My father was a 5th year senior in teaching before he switched. Now he makes %26gt;$120,000/year with nursing!
I just received my degree, and I want to go back to get into nursing. There's no shame. There's still time.
My advice is to look into other majors you are interested in. Speaking the head of the department, go to a few classes to sit in.
Best advice though? Stop worrying. You're going to have plenty of time. The only way you're going to waste money if you party all night and don't go to class.
Everything you learn will come to benefit you in some way. You'll be surprised.
How difficult was it for you to decide on your major?
Yeah, so I got 2 degrees (only took an extra year).
I switched my major 6 times in 3 years, finally i said fcuk it and left school.
Of course. There is a lot out there to do, and most people have tons of interests. At the moment I can't decide between business, interior design, graphic arts or anything else. I'll be in college in the spring though, so I've got a little while, but still, it's hard for me to decide. ^_^
i started with Liberal Arts (associates) and from there i worked on my basics until i decided what i wanted to mjr in....
i grad in May with AA and Comp and start BSN in MIS soon
Well first I was a business major...then I was journalisim major. and in the end I ended up with a degree in sport business and one in journalism.
You have to brainstorm...and be sure that you major in what you truely love!
Yep....so I took basic courses and one 3 credit course that sounded interesting.....Children's Lit. I became an Education Major. You could do your basic Psych/Sociology/Lit/Communications/ courses and then take one that just sounds interesting.....you'll discover things about yourself.
ok... no matter what you do for a major or how many times youve switched it, the best thing to come out college is the knowledge that youve gained through classes and social communication. everyone has that problem, and 30% of the people who go to college come out with degrees... just take your general classes, then find out that way what your interested in... thats the easiest way
I was top of my class in physics and chemistry. Wanted to go into nuclear physics. Was one of 6 in my school able to take a top level organic chemistry class...however it conflicted with band. Didn't take any effort to decide I would take band, even though my major interest was orchestra. Knew when to listen to myself and changed my major to music.
I majored in medicine in Harvard University. Than i went to Harvard Medical school. Now look at me. I'm a doctor. A ER doctor, for the trauma center. In St. Vincents hospital in New York City.
Reviewed the employment ads to see which profession paid the most with for the least educational requirement. I chose Computer Science.
when i decided to go back to school, i took my first eng comp class and fell in love with writing and english. i found i completely enjoy and relate to 19th cent Am. Lit and am now in the last part of getting my BA in English. I may stay to get my masters but havent made up my mind yet.
you will get a certain feeling when you take a certain class and it just feels like it fits like a glove.
I knew when I left high school that I wanted to teach English/language arts (I was inspired by several of my own high school teachers) and so choosing wasn't a large problem for me. I did get a bit wishy-washy throughout college about whether or not I wanted to go into education. I ended up majoring in English with a minor in speech communication and got my BA (in four years) without getting teaching certification, but I'm now a graduate student getting my Master of Arts in Teaching.
