@MYOS1634 : Thank you so much for your answer and sorry for being so late to reply. I did take statistics and cal, but I haven’t have any business courses yet. My school said that it was accredited, I don’t know but they seems very proud of that, maybe that is what you are talking about. I took Financial Literacy in high school and found it was interesting, so I just wonder if I may like accountant since it dealing with numbers and facts. And I did not have a full ride scholarship, but I have some scholarships each years from community service and academic grade, not very bad for tuition. ^.^
@juillet : Thank you. The reason I am scared of phone because I was not born in America, so my language is not good compare to others, especially on the phone. I worked as floral clerk now, and I still cannot find confidence to listen on the phone, and mostly I have trouble hearing older people. Some people just do not want to talk with me and request for another person speak English better than me to talk with them. The fact makes me nervous because I am afraid of talking with client on the phone and may make them feel angry at me.
@jjwinkle : Thank you for your reply. I admit that I choose the majors based on facts that they are in high demand (I feel interested in) right now, so the chance I can get a job may be better. When I first change major from bioengineer, accountant and MLS were two of my options, but I choose MLS because it connected more with my science classes, also at that time, I wanted to go to pharmacy school, so really MLS was the choice, but now I feel like I don’t want to spend more time in school for another 4 years at least with a huge debt and end up working in a grocery store, also I have not prepared for application (But pharmacist has high salary, though ). The chemistry degree is hard to find the job now. The salary I am looking for may not even work for a chemist, usually the chemistry requires a master degree for that amount of money. I like the lab and chemistry, that is way I put it as a minor. I entered MLS with the hope exactly with what you told me- a job outside the lab, but my professors told me it is hard to find a job in those areas and the jobs are very rare. I used t think about chemistry- business field major, but it seems hard for a Liberal Art and Science degree having a job with just a bachelor degree.
Thank you all for your replies. I am really appreciated you took your time to answer me and give me helpful advice.
Have a nice day.
