Hey everyone!
I really would appreciate your help, I’ve been feeling so lost and I’m getting really worried now.
I came into college as a Political science major thinking I wanted to work for the government one day. Last semester I added on a double major in economics because I felt that political science wouldn’t lead me to a job. But 1. I’m not that good at economics and 2. I’m not good at math which the degree requires. Since freshman year I haven’t felt passionate about political science, most people in the major know congress like the back of their hand and are really interested in policy. I find that I’m not as passionate as my peers and I’m displaced. I’m not sure what to do, I’m not happy in my majors!
Can anyone help or offer advice as to what I should do. Unfortunately I’m a second semester Sophmore so time is ticking. Luckily I’ve taken mostly general courses so I won’t be behind of I switch.
This is what I do know: In my future endeavors I want to travel and work abroad. Granted I do want to be a politican one day, but not unless I find what I’m passionate about. I’ve participated in case competitions And love the idea of working for Deloitte or consulting companies, but again I want to be a specialist in something before I go into consulting. Lastly, I’m good at reading, writing, and science. I wanted to be a doctor as I took a nursing class but the courses needed didn’t allow me to double major which was important to me. I also want to do field work! I don’t want to sit in a desk from 9-5. I want to help implement something and not theorize but actually see improvements being made.
Jobs I’ve thought about: Doctor, national security, lobbyist, consultant
Any ideas of what to major in? It’s a lot I know and thank you for taking the time to read this!!
