<p>Have u or u know someone graduated with a degree you/he/she really hated or regreted? What's the story?</p>
<p>I know a guy who got a biology degree and hasn’t done anything with it. He has said he regrets it, but I don’t know if it has really hindered him. He discovered after college that he is good at math and really enjoys statistics/probability and has a passion for investing. He has passed two actuary exams and is working on the third one. He was recently accepted into an MBA program and won a fellowship to go with it. I think he is pretty happy and while he is not using his biology degree directly, having any degree is really all that was necessary for him to move forward into something he likes.</p>
<p>Sure, lots of people change their minds. If you change it during your college years, it is relatively easy to do. If you change it down the road, it still is not impossible, but it is certainly more difficult to do with a family and other obligations.</p>
<p>I’ll try to answer your question.</p>
<p>I have a pharmacy degree with which I have a love-hate relationship. I will really enjoy it for awhile and then wonder why the heck I ever studied this. Like many jobs, it has its ups and downs. The pay is good but the hours are usually not. Full time people tend to be the most irritated with this, while part time people tend to really like pharmacy for its good pay and flexibility. FWIW, most of the people I know in pharmacy would not do it again. However, it could be the culture of the place of employment. </p>
<p>Is anybody meant to do the same job for their entire lives? I think not. Try to find what you like to do NOW, and don’t worry what you will like in 20 or 30 years. I see that you want to be a journalist…then go for it. As you explore the field, you will gain a better insight as to whether it is the career for you.</p>
