<p>wow, you’re great. thanks a bunch. </p>
<p>every time i make a decision about majors, there seems to be the same concern. like, if i go from english to econ, seeing myself doing business seem to make me feel a little uncomfortable. and if i do English and Philosophy instead, I also see myself unemployed, or working at the library my whole life, and that makes me uncomfortable. i guess i feel a little limited in resources for the future. counselors always try to help by asking where i see myself in the next few years. i really don’t know. i actually even feel a little torn up just thinking about it. i also seem to think that if people in the past have done things, i could too. ie: most authors are english majors, etc. </p>
<p>so i know a major is just a bunch of classes you take in the subject and in depth. i don’t think i should think of these as majors anymore. it’s been too long ingrained in me that majors=careers, which is definitely false. but i guess a better way to think about this is what i want to study for the rest of college, and in depth in. as much as i like writing, i don’t want to study post-modernism. but i really like philosophy, and i have most fun studying chinese. it’s weird. i felt a pretty okay with just philosophy and chinese (though a little worried about employment), and when i add either econ or english in there, i feel like it doesn’t offer me enough flexibility. isn’t that weird. like econ might sway me into the business area, and english might sway me into the writing area. i guess i’m just thinking about this all too much. it might be better if i don’t even think about the future. but then i’d also feel a little goal-less. </p>
<p>i’m meeting with a career advisor in 2 days. i originally planned to discuss whether i should go to law school, library school, or law library school. i guess i’ll tell them about the writing thing too. thanks anyhow.</p>
<p>p.s. that’s pretty funny. none of the famous econ majors are even economists, which i thought i would be if i majored in econ. a lot of them are even in the entertainment industry. weirddd. wow, richard gere was a philosophy major! very shocked! i thought most actors don’t even go to college. lol.</p>
<p>i guess careers are just what you like to do, not what you liked to study. since school is not the real world. for most of us anyway. :D</p>
