What To Do If Your Major Is Making You Want To Stop Pursuing Your Dream Career?

In my opinion, always put your dream career first. Do not let the challenge of the major get to you. Keep going until you get your dream career. You might regret changing your major in the future. At the same time, make sure your dream career has a lot of job opportunities and benefits.

A lot of people in the world want to pursue their dream careers. However, some people stop pursuing their dream careers. One thing that stopped them from pursuing their dream careers is the dream career’s major.

Saying that you want your dream career is easier than doing the dream career’s major. Some majors are very challenging to study. College students have a hard time getting a B or A. The challenge and stress make them want to quit their major and study another major. The new major that they take turns out to be easier or one that will not lead to any job opportunities.

This problem shows the controversy behind the meaning of major. Some people define a major as a field of study that is connected to your hobbies and passions. Some people define a major as a field of study that is required for your dream career. Other people define a major as a field of study that will get you a job that has a lot of opportunities, pays a lot of money, and has benefits. Other people define a major as a field of study that is easier for you.

How do you know which definition is the right definition? There is no right and wrong answer. It all depends on your dream career. In my opinion, always put your dream career first. Do not let the challenge of the major get to you. Keep going until you get your dream career. You might regret changing your major in the future. At the same time, make sure your dream career has a lot of job opportunities and benefits. I understand if you are quitting your major because career that it will lead you to will not have job opportunities and benefits.

If you are someone that is experiencing this problem right now, then first ask yourself: Is it the difficulty of the major that is making me want to quit, or do I feel like quitting because I do not want my dream career anymore?

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
