<p>I was just curious about how many people have had a change of heart about what they want to do with their life during college. Was it easy for you to accept that change or did you try to hold on to your original goals?</p>
<p>I definitely changed. I thought I wanted to be a church musician, then I realized my heart was more into psychology and music therapy. I’m still the same major, just in case I need something to fall back on in case being a music therapist isn’t enough. But I’m also getting a psychology minor.</p>
<p>The more I think about my future, the more uncertain it seems to be. I realized that I’ll graduate into heavier debt than I ever thought (due to-UGH- the stock market), which changes my perspective on grad school. Without a citizenship change, I won’t be able to go to the ones I want, so that’s a definite roadblock…</p>
<p>I can think of other things I want to do with my major other than just being a professor (although that’s still my ultimate dream and goal), so I think I’ll be fine.</p>
<p>My interests haven’t so much changed as expanded. I’m only half a semester in, though, so who knows what I’ll be interested in three years from now.</p>
<p>I thought I only had one passion, which recently led me to transfer into a specialized major/school. However, now I’ve realized that I have two passions that in no way, shape, or form can really intersect harmoniously.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be a triple transfer and I’m sure my folks would kill me if I did.</p>
<p>I’d say my horizons have expanded. I’m still interested in the same things for the most part, but now i’m interested in doing other things as well.</p>
<p>Like crazy. First it was Chemistry (for whatever reason because I hate it now) then to English until I realized slim career options then Biology then Microbiology/Clinical Lab Science to become a Pharmacologist (only to realize I didn’t want to be stuck in a lab all day everyday and spend the better part of my youth in graduate school in a lab making pennies) then to Environmental Science for like a week and then the next week to International Relations (in the heat of the moment because I was panicking about my Chemistry exam) for about an hour and then to Environmental Studies. </p>
<p>I’ve done a complete turn around in a little over a semester. Now I’m thinking of becoming an environmental consultant or perhaps even environmental law. It’s just irritating considering that the hardest classes I’ve had thus far (General Chem) aren’t even required for Environmental Studies. Good thing I realized this before I took O-chem.</p>
<p>I started college as a graphic design major. Then I decided that I hated design as a job (I worked as a designer at the same time), some things are more enjoyable as a hobby. So I switched to psychology with interests in becoming a clinician. Then in my second year of college I took statistics and research methods courses and loved them, so then I knew I wanted to do research in social psychology. </p>
<p>After graduating college I got a job in retail management because I wanted to take some time off before applying to graduate school. Now my interests fall under marketing/consumer behavior, which is still some type of applied social psychology field, but I’d attend business school for graduate school instead of a psychology program if I pursue marketing. </p>
<p>It was pretty easy to make all of the changes (except that I transferred twice - once from community college, and once from a 4-year to another 4-year). As new interests developed I just sort of ran with them. I’m much more interested in finding a job I am happy doing than figuring out if it will make me wealthy.</p>
<p>I agree with Marco.</p>
<p>My career interests haven’t changed dramatically, but it certainly has expanded without a question.</p>
<p>yes I have realized that I cant obtain them so I quit life, now stop asking stupid questions, it happens to everyone even if they return after a semester.</p>
