So, here it goes.
I really don’t know what I want to do with my life. I went into college majoring in neuroscience. Took my chem and calc classes that I needed to take, didn’t do super well in them. I’m not saying I didn’t try, but I can procrastinate quite badly sometimes and I am sure this affected it. It didn’t help that I was pretty sick for 8 weeks with colds/walking pneumonia, and that my roommate was causing issues. BUT, my point is that getting a C- in general chem and now having to retake calc (I’ll blame it on my laziness first semester instead of everything else because I want to avoid making excuses) has discouraged me. I know that math is something that I don’t see myself going through with necessarily, but I don’t think I gave chemistry enough effort to know whether I like it or not. If I went though with neuroscience, I would have either went to med school for it or gone to grad school, nothing less. I still consider it sometimes but am not sure if I officially like it enough or not.
I have recently switched my major to business (human resources). I did DECA and high school and I do like writing and such, but not yet sure how on board I am with econ and such yet, just based on my lack of experience with it so far. I’ve tried to do research on the major but can’t really come up with a definitive result on satisfaction, what I would do, etc.
I really enjoy things like skincare and such (not necessarily makeup as much) and want to be involved in that, hopefully, when I’m older. I have had people recommend that I do HR for those corporations.
My issue is that I find myself losing interest in things so easily. I like to be good at a bunch of different things at once and not just one thing, if that makes sense. I (and my friends, apparently) would consider myself relatively intelligent. I know, personally, that I need to put more work into what I do, but luckily I have realized that after just my first semester of college. High school was a breeze with me doing the bare minimum and that mentality seemed to carry over into first semester of college, in which I learned that it is just not possible (so I will be holding myself more accountable) (it also didn’t help that we didn’t have to take any midterm or final exams in my high school, so I had a hard time preparing for ones in college).
I’m very logical & realistic with problem solving (not very emotional), but can also be a little creative in other areas. I’m not much of an art person with drawing, but am decent at things like interior design, fashion, etc-- although these aren’t things that I can really see myself doing as a career.
I’m good at memorizing and reciting facts (amazing at Jeopardy hahaha) and I like just knowing stuff! I’m pretty good at teaching people things but I really don’t think I could be a teacher (a professor would be fine but obviously you work up to that with your major and whatnot)
I just want a job where it keeps things interesting and I enjoy, but pays decently (but doesn’t everyone lol). I am just trying not to waste my time and money here. On a side note, I plan on at LEAST going to grad school. BASICALLY I am all over the place and need some advice to figure out my interests or some steps I need to take.
