It sounds like some people think that good jobs just happen if you major in the right field. Jobs are a lot like college-- you have to convince people that you're the right one for the opening. The first step in this process is believing that you can do anything and then figuring out how to make that happen. If you're waiting for a job to happen to you, you're going to be working at McDonald's before long. Figure out what you want to do, figure out what you need to do to make that happen, and then do it. It doesn't always take a specific education. It does always require that you prove your ability.

thats not very reassuring. I love math but I think I might double major in physics or chemistry so I can get an interesting job.

at this point, reassurance is probably not the thing you ought to be seeking. sometimes people need to hear the truth. if you don't get out and actually show people that you are capable of being useful, why should they even consider hiring you?! if you want reassurance, go ask your mommy if she thinks someone should hire you, but the truth is that if you don't put the work into it, you're going to be out on the streets before long. sorry, but it's reality!

And I think you can get some decent jobs with a math major; physics and chem are liberal arts degrees as well, so unless you plan on doing things directly related to them, it's very possible that employers will simply look at your degrees as showing certain talents and qualities such as the ability to learn.

And that's the big problem. People with liberal arts degrees who don't have leadership potential often have to settle for boring, unrewarding positions. Think crammed cubicles and the same 9-5 routine.

Yes, people who lack the skills necessary to do the more exciting and challenging jobs don't get to do the more challenging and exciting jobs... that's not a 'problem' that's just life.

"who don't have leadership potential"

there are so many classes and programs to help you acheive this. once you've narrowed your problem, it's easier to fix than you think

Moire

Really? Do you mean like joining Toastmasters or something like that?

You're a complete failure. I'm tired of your self loathing.


Just kill yourself. It'll make everyone's life better.
