Okay, so I changed my major twice since I started school last fall. This was due to my concern for "Life after college". My first pick was Psychology. I have a deep interest for the mysteries of the human mind. Is that a good enough reason to keep that career path? Apparently not. I changed my major since I was advised by a counselor that I need to have a Master's degree in order to make decent money in that field of work. I don't have the time and money for that. For now I just want to focus on a Bachelor degree. So I changed my major to social work. It was very short lived after finding out what kind of work load that I would be carrying, limited pay, and not to mention the stress involved. I finally convinced myself that I would have to go into the field of health care to satisfy my need for a promising future. Am I completely convinced that I will live a happy life with my third career choice? Not really. I have not been in love with the college level sciences but I still hope for a light at the end of the tunnel.
The next question that I asked myself was, "Will I be able to make sufficient money to supplement my life (and family) in the field of health care?" I did a little research in the classified ads for jobs. I entered the selections of up to $60,000 salary and "health care" and it continued to show several different positions available that I believe are attainable after completing school for 4 years. That is a ray of hope for me since I don't want to be investing all of my time and money into my education for nothing. This gives me confirmation that I had made a good change in the career path that I have chosen. Now all I have to do is work on my motivation and determination to get there!!
