So here I am again considering a major change. No not a big change a change in my major...which I suppose could be considered a Major major change. I would be getting out of business completely. My goal this semester is to keep my financial aid. If i manage to make it through all my classes and still get a chance to be in the business program...I can honestly say that I doubt I will continue with it. Why do I want to struggle and stress myself out through my entire time at school. I want to work while I go to school and I want to do something that I love. Carr has proven to me that this is not something that I am going to love doing. Finance would be a fun major but I have NO idea what I would do with it. So here is what I am looking into.
BA in Public Affairs - After talking with my friend Jenn and Meghan, it seems this will open up many new opportunities between being able to work for agencies like the USGS and USDA and working in a higher education institution I think it would be a good fit for me. Ive always had a love for science...particularly geology, volcanoes, and seismology. So a minor in environmental studies would be cool. I really want to learn spanish though so if i choose a different minor...i would try to learn it at home.
BA in Social Sciences - When I looked this one up on WSU's website it had many directions I could go. The one that I have been looking into most is the justices and sociology. I love law. I have no desire to be a lawyer but I love the discovery process and the research that has to be done for the cases. I could also lean towards social work and psychology. My love for people could be helpful with this direction but not sure if I really want to do that.
I have even considered just getting a general liberal arts degree...just to have my BA. I do know that I need to be around people. I love customer service and helping people. Its always my favorite part of my jobs. Im just a people person. There are so many things that I am interested in...but I know only a few of them will lead me to a career that I love. I love numbers and I love accounting...but...I think i would be better at something else.
Im not giving up...and I keep telling myself that. I feel as though I am giving up...but I really do feel that you can only try so many times before deciding to try something else...I would rather change my major now, than wait and struggle through my next 2 years at WSU to do a job that I will probably hate. I dont want to do taxes or auditing. HA I hate doing my own taxes so why would I want to do a companies...and why do I want to be the person to tell someone..."hey by the way, your accountant really screwed up and you owe the IRS a ton of money." If I stuck with accounting, I would be a cost accountant. All of the internal accounting.
See Im still very undecided about what I want to do in school. But I do know that I am done with the business end of it. Im just tired of doing all that I feel is possible and still not only struggling but failing. It sucks and im ready for something new. That being said...Bring it on...Im excited and ready for a change...
...And in the long run...looking at the big picture...I bet this will be one of the best decisions of my life! :)
