Major & My Future


Question Posted Tuesday December 16 2008, 2:09 am

I am a freshman business major at a university with a highly renowned business program. however, i am unsure of whether or not I would really like to pursue business as a career. I've always been interested in helping careers such as education or psychology, but my parents say that business is a more practical choice. I am going to major in marketing in the business school because I love to be creative, so I feel that out of anything in business, marketing would be the best fit for me. I have looked into a few internships and jobs that I might enjoy, but I'm afraid that once I get a job it will be something I will enjoy only for a few years before I yearn for something that I feel makes a positive impact on people more directly.

I decided to double major with Linguistics with a track in Psychology (I'd be taking half Linguistics and half Psych classes for this major) and minor in Spanish. This way I could decide to teach English, Spanish, or Psych...or even later pursue a career in Psychology by going to grad school.

Does this sound like a good plan? I'm wondering if I should drop business entirely, but I'm afraid it will be a mistake since my school is so good.

Well buisness is a good thing to have went to school for and the for you have went to school for the more options you will have later on into your future. Although don't take on to much. You can drop buisness and take it back up later on if you would like. If you are able to jugle it all now than why not? Just don't stress your self out. take it easy. and your plan sounds great!

Well, if you're interested in business you can be an Engineering psychologist. What they do is: An engineering psychologist is an applied scientist who develops knowledge concerning the abilities and limitations of humans to sense, store, and process information, and to act. This knowledge is applied to the design, use, and maintenance of human/machine systems.

If you're interested in marketing. Perhaps Social psychology will interest you. What they do is explore how we live in the world. Pop cultural, group behavior, the media, and our attitudes and opinions are all part of social psychology.

I think that you would still take business with those two classes since it has to do with businesses. And as for the launguage, it doesn't hurt to have an extra language in your resume (:
