Okay so I am a second year business administration student but I hate it i hate ittt like I don't understand accounting I don't understand finance I just can't do no matter what.

What i feel that its the closest to me and I would absolutely love is veterinary medicine I love it i feel bad every time I see an injured animal because I just can't help.

I can't study veterinary though cause of complicated issues I can explain if anyone asked.

So yeah i currently dk if I should just accept ba or idk like I am genuinely so lost

I’m 20 and going into my sophomore year of college. I originally chose nursing, but a big reason I went into it was because my mom strongly encouraged me to choose something stable. At the time I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, so I went with it.
For over a year now I’ve been questioning whether nursing is actually what I want to do. I eventually realized that I don’t really have a passion for it, and the things I’m naturally interested in are much closer to marketing, even though my mom tells me it’s a bullshit major.
I already have experience creating content, building an online audience, looking at analytics, promoting myself/brands, thinking about advertising, etc. I recently changed my major to Business Marketing. I spoke to my advisor beforehand and was told that because I’m doing it this early, the change shouldn’t push back my graduation date.
The problem is that I haven’t told my mom yet.
In the past she’s basically said that if I change my major, I may have to transfer to a cheaper school/CUNY instead. I’m actually willing to accept that if that’s what has to happen financially. I don’t want to stay in nursing just to stay at my current school.
I’m also trying not to be one of those people who changes to a business major with no actual plan. My plan is to get internships while I’m in school, use Handshake, build a real marketing portfolio with campaigns/analytics/results, network with professors and employers, and eventually target jobs like marketing coordinator, marketing analyst, or digital marketing specialist.
I’m not expecting the degree alone to magically get me a job.
So I wanted some outside opinions:
Was switching from nursing to marketing a bad decision financially/career-wise?
Does my current plan sound realistic, or am I missing something important?
What should I absolutely accomplish during the next 2–3 years to make myself employable after graduation?
If you were my parent, what would you need to hear from me to believe this wasn’t an impulsive decision?
How would you approach telling a parent who strongly preferred your previous major?
I’d rather hear realistic criticism than just be told to “follow my passion.”

Hello everyone,

I got into both degrees and I really value the outcomes both degrees will give me in terms of employability (I already know IR is a lost case in this sense) but I wanted to ask everyone's opinion.

Both ways I'll end up doing a master after my bachelors focusing on a better job-landing master ofc. I've heard Security Studies is such a niche field and the demand is rising (thats what they said about IR and look at current saturation).

But what I'm genuelly scared of is that if I choose Security Studies theres a chance I overspecialize and don't even get a job in that field (which might be unlikely but still possible).

I'm an european citizen with asian background who speaks 3 of the most spoken languages (really basic and not really competent for IR) but I swear that doing IR it really interests me but the job prospects frightens me. I do not come from a legacy of nepotism who's not really good at networking and if I overthink it I'm scared of landing in an under-qualified job or even worse.

The reason of why I say it's urgent is that I need to decide ASAP because both bachelors already started and I need to choose to attend permanently in one of the 2 bachelors (I'm screwed up and y'all can blame it's my fault but I still value if anyone is willing to advice me).

My university is one of the best in terms of PolSci and I assume both degrees land in that field more or less so reputation isn't really a problem I assume.

Any tips, opinions and suggestions will be appreciated tysm! Peace everyone!

I'm currently a sophomore in university, and I am still undeclared on a major. I am very indecisive, so I hate the idea of choosing something that I am not passionate about, but I understand that not everybody is necessarily too excited about what they are studying.

Anything in engineering or business is off the table for me, but I’m really interested in people‑centered work. I'd rather not spend my life in a cubicle. I’ve been exploring options like Speech & Hearing Science, public health, and Secondary Education, but nothing is really clicking. I am interested in the idea of being a teacher, but I also understand how exhausting the career is for such low pay.

I care about impact, flexibility, and careers that let me work directly with people without needing heavy clinical exposure. And of course, a high paying job is ideal. I'd like to live in a city after I graduate, preferably Chicago. If you have experience in any of these majors or know careers that sound like they'd fit these interests, I’d really appreciate any insight, as I am feeling pretty stuck.

What are some good majors and careers for people with a wide range of interests but only good at one thing. I'm literally only good at english and excelled in english and social studies classes in highschool. Only ap classes I did well in are ap env sci, ap psych, I tried ap english and ap biology but failed both. Ended up doing well in college as an english major for a year (after failing at biology and psychology but i did struggle with mental health otherwise I would've done fine in psychology).

I have been considering sociology, english, human resource management, business, psychology, applied psychology, education, environmental science, humanities... im not sure which path is best for me.

I am even considering taking up a body piercing apprenticeship to get extra income while I decide. I already have one full time job as a paraprofessional but it doesn't pay much per hour.

Some things to know about me: im bad at math (struggled since 1st grade tbh cause of my adhd and former math disorder), great at english and would prefer a major and career that works with that.

Any suggestions would be great!

Hi! I am wanting to go back to college but struggling to figure out exactly which direction I want to go, as well as just wanting to know other options I haven’t thought about. (I do not want to be a nurse/doc)

My interests;
- herbalism - nutrition - TCM - Auryveda - Alternative medicine - Plant science - Yoga - Meditation - Psychology - Appalachian and Rural Studies - Environmental Science - Narrative Med

The change I want to see in the world;
I want to see humanity come back to the earth and have a relationship to nature.
I want people to understand what “healthy” really looks like and know that there are natural medicines and foods that can make people feel better.
I want to see less people consumed by technology and more people knowing the native plants around them.
I want to see an end to unrealistic individualism and see more community.

Sorry guys this is so niche but…
I’m a senior in high-school trying to figure out what to major in college. Ik I’m going to do something broad so I don’t slim my chances of I change my mind (I’m really fickle). Anywho I love biology and science and am thinking of a path that’s botany/engineering bc I love to create and garden. But I also love writing, politics, history, leadership, debate, and literature. I’m thinking of maybe taking a foreign language/political science/finance major with that route. The only in between is an environmental lawyer which I don’t really want to do or like an agriculture CEO. I just don’t know what to pick and I want to find out now so I can put all my energy into that specific area.

Hi guys. I just needed some advice as a finance major. I just started my sophomore year, and I came into this year with 60 hours, so I’m technically a junior. I don’t want to graduate early because I want to have two summers for internships. I want to double major in something else to delay graduation, I’m thinking maybe business analytics to build technical skills. I also got advice to look into accounting. I’m not sure what kind of career path I want to head down, I’m thinking either corporate finance, like FP&A or maybe something in fintech. I don’t know a whole lot yet, so any advice would be appreciated!!

Hello! I have a great interest in both Economics and Finance, and I constantly try to learn more about them every day.

I want to pursue one of these fields when I go to university, but I also need to secure a scholarship to help fund my education. My family is currently facing some financial challenges and I don't want to burden them. Therefore, I'd love to hear your recommendations on what extracurricular activities I should do to boost my applications for both admissions and scholarships.

Thank you!

I am a third year CC student in California. I was planning to transfer to a CSU to get a business admin BS with a concentration in HR. But, I am wondering if that is closing more doors than it's opening? You don't 'need' a concentration in HR to get into an HR position. Plus I wouldn't be so pigeonholed into that career path if I decided I wanted to pursue a different path with the more general business admin degree. Therefore, I am also considering getting a business admin BS from a UC or another more prestigious uni. Albeit, I'm unsure how much hiring managers value the college you graduated from vs concrete things like experience and demonstrated capabilities. Thoughts on keeping my degree general at a more prestigious (and EXPENSVIE) university vs focused at a cheaper and local uni? I want the best shot at upwards mobility and a lucrative, executive position.

Repost to another community

In my uni, I'll start my 3/4th year as a math major. Truth to be told, I'm so exhausted from it and right now I have to pass 5 really important exams that make me crazy just thinking about it. My professors are very rude and unsupportive. In my math major I chose the "path/specialization" called "Probability & Statistics and Operations Research". I really like probabilities.

But there are a lot of times where I want to give up, because I'm afraid that I won't pass my exams and also, I won't be able to find a job as easily as other majors. I'm just so hopeless.

I also came back from an exam today and I didn't do well. And I have two more to write this week.... I'm sorry I just have an IMMERSE pressure right now..

Has somebody been through this? What is your advice? And also what good jobs are there with the specialization that I've chosen?

I’m currently in community college, wrapping up my last two semesters. I Iove writing and my goal is to be an author, but I'm aware that for the meantime I needed a job to sustain me. Ive always had a knack for science and thought "well I'm good at it and it'll make money", so I decided on nursing. I've take almost all the prereqs for it and did well but I was absolutely miserable taking the classes and decided that's probably not a sign to go further into it.

Ive been thinking about becoming an secondary English teacher or even a professor (though I know the job market for that is not great). I love teaching and I know it's more so about helping and watching the students grow versus English and writing, but I don't mind and still love the idea. My main issue is the salary. I'm not saying I want to be a millionaire, but money does matter to me and I like nicer things and I want to be able to fully support myself.

I also don't mind making career pivots, I don't see myself doing any job forever as I don't like to sit still lol. I’m just afraid education would put me in a box. I also have been looking into law school, I’m not totally sure about that but I could see myself enjoying it, my only issue is I want a job that doesn’t take too much from me so I can still have energy for my creative endeavors. I know teaching is a very hard job but I could use the summers for my writing. Is education the way to go for someone like me?

Hey there. I have my Associates in Early Childhood Education with Special Education. I already fulfilled my cores, and now I am about to go back to University to complete my Bachelor's. However, my health has taken a negative toll, and working a teaching job doesn't seem realistic to me. My heart doesn't like to fucntion properly, and hospital bills are getting pretty high. I am open to anything, I am terrible at math, but willing to learn.

I have seen that many IT jobs are good WFH careers, but how and what are the qualifications of getting into one? Is there any other majors that are in demand for WFH careers. Any other advice/suggestions are appreciated as well!

I’m starting my second year uni of BA comms and media studies and I want to eventually work in HR. If I wanted to add a minor to my degree, which would be the most beneficial to achieve this? Some people tell me to minor in Management and Society, other people tell me Marketing, and others tell me Psychology.
Also, is staring a minor in second year going to be super difficult? 😥

I'm interested in a business degree and I've been looking into most of them but was hoping someone could break down the essential ones for me by pay rate, what they do, and difficulty so I (and future people perhaps) could use it as a guide/reference. Thank you 😊

17M, I need help deciding between wether i should take a bachelors in biochemistry then a masters in biotechnology, or a bachelors in biotechnology then a masters in whatever I want to specialize in afterwards, my only concern here really is which could get me better jobs in labs and companies and is more practical, everyone keeps giving me totally different opinions and I can’t decide which is best

19F, attending a CUNY. Slight rant, apology in advance if I seem immature throughout this

I'm currently in my 2nd year as a HumBio major, and honestly, I just know it isn't what I'm interested in. I know many people say to major into what you aspire to be or what career paths you're into, but what if I have no interests? I know i underestimated the difficulty of science courses at my cuny, I declared as humbio since I really liked apbio in high school but now that I've experience chemistry at my college and previous students telling me and other students about the insane workload and ridiculous exams from the biology professors, I don't really like science at all. That includes chem and bio.

I'm currently enrolled in my first ever biol class (A&P), and so far, I already know I'm going to perform badly. I have a strong gut feeling that if I decide to stay enrolled in this class, my GPA will take a massive blow. I tried convincing myself that since I'm in my 2nd year and more than halfway with my requirements, i should just stick through with it and try to graduate early. But what's the point if I don't even like this major? I feel so dispirited from biology and science in general.

But even with that, I also have a deep hatred for mathematics. So now what? I hate math, no enthusiasm for science, and no interests or hobbies that could lead me to a career path. I knew in high school that I didn't like education and classes. Tests and exams weren't my thing, and learning was just boring and tedious to me.

Please don't get me wrong. I know it's a privilege to have education in my life. But i just feel like such a failure with no aspirations in life and lost. I feel like everyone knows what they want to major in and what their interests are, but I'm so lost.

Really a rant, and I'm open to any criticism.

hey guys

was just wondering, is it worth it to pursue Bachelor of Arts after completing the IB diploma. as I saw that for bachelor of arts, theres a lot of options offered for unimleb and I have a keen interest for psychology.

since I take math ai sl for IB, obviously im unable to go for BA of commerce, unless I target another university. would it be reccomended to pursue a degree in another university for BA of commerce in management and marketing, or conintue with BA of arts for psych.m

My plan was to always major in something biology/chemistry since I did extremely well in them all throughout high school, and I really enjoyed biology class in general. I've struggled with physics more than any other subject, but I managed to get above 90 all of high school. I know I'll most likely enter a STEM field, but I genuinely dont know what to do. I've thought about engineering ( especially chemical), but as far I know engineering=physics and im scared I won't be able to maintain a well enough GPA to pursue higher education if I wanted to later in life. My family told me that even if I did struggle with physics, I'd be able to push through those 4 years, but I dont know

My sister said something that stuck with me, which is that the reason why I enjoy biology so much is because it's basically all memorization or at least in high school. I know university level biology is definitely more advanced and complex.

I also do enjoy math sometimes and did pretty well in it too, but I don't see myself entering a math related major, I guess I've just never considered it, but maybe I should

I'm scared I'm prioritizing my comfort over what's actually best for me
