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?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
