I don't equate money to happiness. I believe you can't buy happiness, and I don't believe happiness is solely from your professional successes.

Who decided one major is more important than the other? Yes, more work may be required to get to where you need to be, but there is something positive every major contributes to society. It wouldn't be an entire degree program if that weren't the case.

Deciding my major wasn't the easiest thing- and it shouldn't be. You're basically forced to decide your entire career path at the age of 17 or 18 and, for whatever reason, it's frowned upon to change your mind. I thought I wanted to be a psychology major before even being in college, but it involved much more science than I had anticipated and Lord knows science (and math, for that matter) are not my strong suits.

I decided to pursue my personal happiness, and that comes from writing and the development of the media. I'm fortunate enough to be able to consider myself good at what I do, while still having much more to learn. However, I shouldn't feel ashamed when I tell people that.

Congratulations on double majoring in Biochemical engineering and calculus IX with a double minor in health sciences and biology of pigs, but I'M NOT TRYING TO DIE IN COLLEGE.

I'm here to learn all I can but I want to enjoy myself. I've heard way too many times that people want to "make their parents proud" or "make really good money" and that makes me so sad. I know it's not just as easy as the flip of a switch and magically do what your heart desires and not every family works like that, but there's no reason to put others' majors down just because it's not what you're spending your time on.

Left-brains need right-brains and same goes for the opposite. You can't have creativity without the logistics and the technics, that's not how a team functions. There is always going to be someone out of your area of expertise and there's nothing wrong with that! Learn from that. Embrace that. The world would be boring if we all liked and did the same things.

I've unfortunately seen time and time again that people make a living for themselves and their families and aren't ever really happy in the process. I promise if you think you haven't found your calling you absolutely will, and it might not happen tomorrow. But, if you are doing something that involves a lot of research or formulas or numbers, don't put someone else down just because they like grammar or art or visual media more than you. Just remember, we're the people who proofread your papers in high school. You needed us then, you'll need us in the future too.
