This is gonna be long, but if you read the entire thing, I’d appreciate it.
I think I have ADD. I change my “desired” major so often my friends make fun of it (jokingly). I honestly think I have ADD as I show some of the symptoms. My idea on what I want to do changed probably 10 or 15 times since the beg of high school (I’m a senior in HS now) and for the past year, I’ve been switching back and forth between the following majors: accounting, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and actuarial science. Actuarial sciecne and accounting are the 2 big ones. I recently commited to cal poly for Electrical engineering, but I’m taking a Intermediate C++ class at a local CC, and I find some of the stuff really challenging and frustrating. I took Financial Accounting 1 over the summer (so everything was crammed) and I got the highest A. Additionally, I’ve heard many accounts online that accounting isnt too hard. Dont get me wrong… I know accounting will be difficult but its no where on the same level as engineering or computer science. Honestly, I don’t know if I wanna work so hard for the rest of my life. I wanna be a high school teacher after a couple years of working in the industry, and my only intention in working as an accountant or actuary after college is so I save up money so I won’t have to worry about it as a teacher. I did good in my Beginning C++ programming class last quarter (got the 5th highest A in a class of 30), but its CC so its pretty inflated at Beg c++ is known to be very easy at our school. Intermediate c++ is a bit harder and I think I’m still above average in the class, but I am no where near good as my friends. When I look at c++ forums, I understnad none of the computer dialogue people use to help each other so its hard for me to learn online.
I guess my question is how hard would getting a job with an accounting degree for somelike me (with ADD and social anxiety be)? Also, did any of you ever have thoughts of switching majors or really hate your job? I’m the type of person that doesnt like doing the same thing for a long time, but I’m also really lazy. I got away with it in high school kinda, idk if thatll work in college. Thats why I’m so scared to major in engineering at cal poly.
