Sorry but concerned

College Majors

<p>So I have been on and off about my major for awhile. Went from chemical engineering, to journalism/ premed, decided didnt want premed so I went back to engineering. I am doing alright in all of the classes (aside from calculus, just one bad quarter though) but really do not find much interest in the engineering, chemistry or calculus. </p>

<p>The classes I have loved the most were the brit lit class and Dante Inferno seminar. I did enjoy some of the research involved in my chemistry course, but found the overall work boring and repetitive. All of the tours I have taken indicate that engineering may not be for me. But I really am at a loss as to what I could study.</p>

<p>Wondering if I could get some feedback, just some thoughts.</p>

<p>Interests:
Slightly interested in alternative energy along with some principles of chemistry.
Writing. All kinds. Love writing creatively along with technical papers (for things like engineering reports, lab reports, etc. Been told by a few professors that I am pretty good at the technical portion.)
Literature- Very much into writing from the 19th and early to mid-20th century, just find it beautiful.<br>
People- Always had this interest in groups, like how certain people react. Also, have a bit of an infatuation with current state of morals in the world and<br>
I have been gaining interest in how different cultures interact, react, express certain things such as animosity or happiness. It is maybe a little weird.
Music- Come on we all love music, I don't wanna be a music major but I do feel it is a big part of interest.</p>

<p>For work I really do love something that is always changing. I want to find a job that I love to go to each day and am willing to work my ass for because I know it is a field of study I love. Money is really not a huge part, I would like to have enough to eat and sleep. Just really wondering if I am overlooking any majors.</p>

<p>I've thought about English, Sociology, Psychology, and been told I would maybe enjoy business...still in chemical engineering. Taking a psychology technical writing class (part of engineering curriculum) and have room for one more class which may allow me to figure all of this out. </p>

<p>Please, any suggestions would be amazing.</p>

<p>What about taking up technical writing? There's a bit more money in it then out and out journalism or creative writing (aside from writing best sellers, I suppose). It would be hard to get into, as the entire industry is difficult to get into, but there are more options, I suppose, and specializations would be looked upon favorably so long as you market yourself to the right crowd. Plus, there would be much less competition here than in something like lifestyle or fashion/beauty mags.</p>

<p>theres two ways of looking at it, are you more interested in learning about what you are interested in, or doing what you are interested in. it seems like your quarrel is with the classes, not the research and work itself. I would think about what you want to DO in life, and then go for that major. with all of your electives take the classes that interest you.</p>

<p>The majors that came to my mind while reading your description were Environmental Studies, Journalism, and the different Social Sciences.</p>
