<p>I am a first-semester sophomore in college. I started out as a pre-physical therapy major with athletic training as my undergrad degree. I am very into sports, and an important thing to me is having a job that helps other people. I was excited about this career, but began enjoying my classes and observations less and less. Also, some of the medical aspects of this career bothered me. I am not excessively squeamish, but I do not like seeing the infected toenails or broken arms, much less actually working with them.</p>
<p>My second major was education. I am very good at English and writing, and both of my parents and many relatives are teachers. I know that the job market is bad, but I thought this could be a good fit. After disapproval from family members and being too nervous about my classes and student teaching (which would be far off in the future and I was already worried about it) I decided to change my major again. I did lots of researching, and honestly nothing caught my eye. </p>
<p>Finally, after some pressure from others, I changed my major to radiologic technology, to be an x-ray or an MRI technician. I was liking this, until I began my observations. My squeamish-ness began bothering me, and I can no longer pretend like seeing broken bones doesn't bother me.</p>
<p>So, I plan on changing my major again. But I am absolutely clueless. I have such pressure from my family to do something great with my life. Disappointing them is a huge worry for me. But the medical field is just not working out for me.</p>
<p>I have been considering a major in business. My grandparents own a restaurant that they want to keep in the family, and I am the oldest grandchild, so this is an option. But it would still be a little while after I graduate before I could take over, they are not quite ready to retire yet and of course I'm not going to push them.</p>
<p>My parents are not totally against a major in business, but they keep asking me what I would do with this degree, and I honestly do not know. I would love to find a way to work in business but still help people. </p>
<p>So- Business majors- any advice? I have heard that there is a good chance to find a job, but I have also heard that it is hard to find a job.</p>
<p>If not Business, I am stuck! I enjoy writing and I am decent at it. I love to read, but I am not sure about teaching others about books (like an English teacher). Sports is a huge part of my life, but unless I want to be a coach there is not much to do with that! I really would like to help people, do something great with my life like my family expects, but still make enough money to live on and be happy (not worried about how sick to my stomach I may be at work, due to my weaker stomach).</p>
<p>ANY advice would be so, so appreciated! I am getting to the point where I need to decide or I will not graduate on time. And I do not really enjoy college, so I do not want to be any longer that what I have to be!</p>
<p>Thank you all!!!!</p>
