Picking a career..? |
Hey all, am starting collge this fall and will be basically enrolled into the general requirement classes mostly because I have no idea what I want to be. I do however have some interests like - Travelling - Doing research-but not things like- which molecule has more cells(? if thats even existent)..basically, I dont think am a science buf. - I like home renovation shows- does that even matter? - I like cooking/baking - I am very interested in foreign languages and cultures and am currently trying to be fluent in Spanish( I toke it for 3 years in high school so I know much of the basic stuff) ...thats just a window into my head I guess...it just seems like some things I like but not so much to do it as a career.. and I really dont want to be one of those people who do a job for the wrong reasons and just plain miserable. I do want to be able to support myself though. Any input would be great!..thanks in advance..ciao! That's what electives are for......to explore what you like. Most people do not know what they are majoring in until end of sophomore year. Remember, your major does not necessarily have to match up with your career. It's a common misconception. It helps finding a job after college, but other people gain valuable experience and skills in part-time or summer jobs. I know people who are in education administration, but majored in communications. I majored in Computer Science/Math, but I am a technical trainer. My advice is to take 1-2 electives in your freshman year that might interest you as a major. For example, take a psychology course and anthropology course. Two things you need for a happy and successful career: 1) Keep doing what you enjoy doing 2) Find someone who will pay you to do it. |
