<p>OK, so…here’s where I am:</p>
<p>In high school, I was… “encouraged” to follow sciences, and our less-than-stellar guidance counselors weren’t much help in viewing alternatives. My first year of university, I took a BSc; by second term, I knew for a fact that I utterly despised science, math and anything remotely related.</p>
<p>Familial pressures forced me into my next choice, BComm, which I couldn’t even complete one term in. I became depressed; my doctor suggested I abstain from school until I was better able to manage my mood and stress levels. In order to keep the family from finding out, I was forced to remain registered in two courses, which I am now recorded as having failed.</p>
<p>Now I am in my third year, and have switched to a BA; I am taking a Spanish major with an Italian minor, and I’m seriously worried about it as a commitment. I can’t easily perceive it opening many doors, especially with two large blots on my academic record (not counting the Withdrawns that are also there.)</p>
<p>Does anyone have any input on the viability of a BA with a Spanish major? Or the relevance/removability of those F’s in the work world?</p>
