<p>kfc4u, you’re a college student now, not a child. It’s time forget about what your parents want and start thinking about YOU want for your future. Do YOU think a job in the public sector is beneath you? Do YOU want to travel? It’s fine if you’re not sure, but don’t default to your parents’ expectations as a result. It can be scary asking yourself these questions, but you have advisors, counsellors, professors, and fellow students at your school to help you find the answers. Considering the state of the world today, International Relations is an incredibly useful major. It may not be a “feeder” major like engineering or business, but some career exploration after graduation is fine. In fact, I think it’s really healthy. It can feel very safe and comfortable to just do what your parents want - but it’s time to stand on your own two feet.</p>
