Is it worth going straight into a four year university if you have an undecided major? Or is community college a better option?
Honestly, I don't really have any clue what I'm interested in as far as my college major. I do want to be happy in whatever I choose because I will be involved in that career for the rest of my life. I feel like going to community college is a better option because it is cheaper, and it gives me more time to figure out exactly what I want to do in life. That way, I wont feel rushed into an important decision that determines how I will spend the rest of my life.
Is it a bad idea to change your major?
Since I'm not quite sure what I will major in, I am afraid that when I do choose a major, I might lose interest in it and eventually want to change it. I think that if I change my major too many times, it will ultimately cost more and take longer for me to graduate. I am just not sure how many times is considered too many times because I might be in that situation eventually.
I share that same fear honestly. Just not knowing in general. We're heading into some really unfamiliar terrain, we're going in blindly, and there aren't any real answers, just our own personal journeys. We've gotta figure it out for ourselves, and that can definitely be terrifying, but I think that as far as majors go, college is made for self-discovery. In the first year, you should feel free to change as much as you want, and even after that. There is no right or wrong way to go, just your way.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with going to a community first if you don't know what you want to major in. However, many people get stuck at a community college trying to figure out what major they want to do and never go on to a four year college. You just have to make sure that you focus on both, finding your major and getting to a four year. Also, I personally feel that it is perfectly fine to change your major. A lot of people in college end up changing their major, so it must be normal and probably even expected. If you change too many times, it will cost more, but it would be better than being stuck with a miserable career the rest of your life.
