Help anyone?? Enjoy my life story:? Hey everyone:
So, I'm a soph in college, probably going to major in marketing but going into the business school of my school in junior year.
Like everyone, im having second thoughts about whether or not i really want to pursue business. I finished fresh year with a 3.3ish which i wasnt amazed by but i was somewhat content. This semester i took business law, micro econ, calc, literature, and i did not do well in the first three--at all. In fact, i nearly had a heart attack when i received my grades, and sort of wanted to climb under a rock. My semester gpa ended up being realllllll low, but since it was 3.3 before i ended with a cumulative 2.98 something (ALMOST 3, which kills me!! .02!!!!!!!). Now, next semester I am taking accounting, econ again, business statistics, and computer info systems, to be honest--classes i really dont care for much, hence the reason i'm probably not doing wonderfully. I have felt lately that once i graduate and get my bba--what do i do? i originally wanted to do the business side of the fashion industry which i have always had a passion for, but now as I am getting older I am evaluating my future goals as more of a realist than a dreamer. With all due respect to everyones personal choices, I do not want to have an extremely full time job because I (gulp, sorry feminists!!) do want to be able to have much time for family left over.
So-the verdict is in--and I HATE studying business. So much work for something I don't care for and I still will barely be anything with a measly bba (if i ever make it out of the business courses alive that is).
Lately, I have thought a lot about dermatology (D.O.). Now, I am not much of a fan of science to be honest, but it feels as though if i'm kicking my behind for classes which dont interest me, I might as well work a wee bit harder for a few years and do dermatology. I have no interest in the medical field at all which the exception of dermatology, which makes my family think I'm hilarioussss when I say that the girl who has never taken chem before (me!!) wants to go to med school. HA.HA. Hilarious!! Now the problem is I do go to a liberal arts school technically, but it is extremely business oriented and 80% of the students continue into the business school in junior year. If i pick medicine, I would obviously have to transfer out, but now I think who would even take me because of my gpa?!
Now, LAW. Do I want to do law? Eh, I wouldn't mind of course, I would be honored! But I don't have much interest in it, but again, its one of those things that I would work very hard, get tutoring, lock myself in my room until i learn, sort of things but it would pay off in the end after a lot of hard work.
Whats a girl to do? From fashion to medicine to law. Oh, and as of last week I have been thinking about nutrition. Just another occupation to throw in my little melting pot of ideas. There is a good nutrition program that I have been looking into as well. But I heard the pay for dietitians isnt to great
I suppose I am just feeling lost (like everyone when choosing a career path) because I feel torn between what I want (something in the creative field, marketing, advertising, fashion, because not to sound like a bragger, but I do have a creative mind [seriously] in terms of design, ideas, creative writing, etc]) or something that pays the bills and after working hard hard hard for 6-8 years, would always put, how you say, bread on the table? Not being afraid of the economy and being financially secure are really important to me as well.
So there it is, yahoo-ers, my whole life story in a nutshell. I'm lost, hence I have resorted to online blogging--or rather, online begging. Any input, advice, anything, to just help me formulate something, ANYTHING, would be SO appreciated.
Thanks for bearing with me guys!
