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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
