For all of you out there who are either a senior in high school or a college student, picking a major or career can be a difficult task. In high school, you might think you want to be a doctor and decide to take a pre-med route or a major science like chemistry or biology. All of these majors probably would allow you to get into a prominent medical school
if you get good grades. The important part to know about college is something you may of heard "you only get what you put in." So if you have a career in mind when you pick your major you will have to put 100% effort into your work to get the grades/career that you want. (Also
good grades do not equal a guaranteed job.) Now once you've gotten into college and gone through your introductory classes (bs) you really do have to pick a major. Your last two years of college is when you will have an official major. (Every time you switch your major you will likely have to stay for an additional year or two). By now your 20, you haven't found a certain subject you really love so you pick something you think will get you a good job. Majors don't equal jobs. (Ok, about here you stop reading this and decide this guy's an idiot of course my major will get me a job. Maybe your right. You put in the hard work, get the grades, build a monster resume and land a job. Well you earned it not your major.) The rest of your college career could go one of three ways. One, you don't work too hard at looking for opportunities you get good grades though and you graduate and you head out into the job market, but you can't find that great job you thought you would. Option number two is you do great getting good grades, build that fantastic resume and get a good paying job. This option doesn't sound too bad, unless you hate your job. If you hate what your doing, (and you can feel this way as a freshman or sophomore in college) you probably be doing something else. (If financial responsibilities outweigh job satisfaction than option two is alright.) Now look at option three. You take a look at yourself and think what do I love to do more than anything else. What is my passion? It could be sports of some sort, teaching/helping others, being fashionable/fashion, or partying. Take your passion and think of ways you can turn them into careers. (Maybe, you'd rather make 150,000 dollars a year working for the man than doing what you love for 75,000, but thats kind of a sad statement). So, you chose to major in Biology but what you would really like to do is design clothes. What's stopping you from trying? You picked the "wrong" major and you graduated so now you need a job to pay back debt and live on your own. Fine get a job, put in 40-50 hours a week and pay the bills. There are 168 hours in a week, 50 hours are spent working and 40 or so sleeping. That leaves more than 70 hours too work on your passion. CRUSH IT! Put in the time and do what you love. Here's another option. Your a college student now, and you have two or three years left before you get a degree. YOU CAN START NOW. Ya, your major might not fit your passion but that can't stop you from learning more about it, trying to meet people/professionals who work within the realm of your passion, or even trying to get a job/internship. This
CAN be done. Go out there and try it. There are people out there who would love to help/mentor you. If you like something but don't think there's a career in it tell me about it and I will prove you wrong!
GOOD LUCK, HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE
Joke of the day-Two college students, Frank and Matt, are riding on a New York City subway when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change.
Frank adamantly rejects the man in disgust.
Matt, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of singles and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile.
The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues on to the other passengers.
Frank is outraged by his friend's act of generosity.
"What on earth did you do that for?" shouts Frank. "You know he's only going to use it on drugs or booze."
Matt replies, "And we weren't?"
