What should I be?


Question Posted Sunday November 30 2008, 11:32 pm

I'm a freshman in college, and my first semester is coming to a close soon. My major right now is Biomedical Science, which is going to lead me to Physical Therapy for grad school (because my university doesn't offer a physical therpy program).

The thing is- I'm not good at science. I can grasp concepts, but I can never get the details. I do want to be a physical therapist, but I just don't think I can handle all the science classes. I'm currently squeaking by my chemistry and biology classes with C's, which is jsut uncceptable. I am much better at English/reading type stuff. English classes are a breeze for me. So, I'm thinking about changing my major/career.

I think I'd like Journalism or something related to it. I'm good at English and writing, and I really like using computers. I am also really good with people, and making a lot of money is important to me (as shallow or whatever as that may sound, but it is). So, with all that in mind, does anyone know what kind of major/career would be good for me? Any advice is helpful.

Well...

1) If you're unhappy with your major then definitely switch talk to your advisor though!

2) If you are great with English why not go as an English major? I'm a communications major, I find it both hard and easy because there are many classes envolving english but some classes are about a lot of technologies and such.

3) Journalism/ Communication careers honestly don't make as much money as you think...first you start off serving coffee and then work your way up. So if you want a career with good money you should look elsewhere.

4) Talk to your advisor about this and seek your options she/ or he maybe able to point you in the right direction.

Good Luck!
