<p>Silly question. But if I don’t love everything about my major does that mean its not for me?</p>
<p>I’m a psychology major. This semester I’m taking abnormal psychology and child development. I HATE the child development course. Partially because of the professor. He’s really nice. But his lectures get so boring. There is a paper due soon and I’m dreading it. Not all of the material is uninteresting. But some is. However, I LOVE my abnormal psych class. It’s totally interesting. Professor is good. Lectures are very interesting. Time flys in that class for me.</p>
<p>I was trying to start my paper for the class I hate and I started freaking out. I felt hopeless since I can’t stand the class. Some times I feel as if i have no motivation for it. I kept thinking that maybe I will never feel passionate about it. Thoughts?</p>
<p>I’ve never met anyone who enjoyed every class they had to take for their major. The classes tend to be so varied in their content that it’s almost not possible to find every topic covered fascinating. Don’t switch your major because of one uninteresting course.</p>
<p>Most people don’t love every single class in their major. I’m a physics major, and there are aspects of physics that bore me to tears. I’m in electromagnetism right now, and we’re currently doing circuit analysis. It’s interesting in its own right, and it obviously is very important stuff, but it lacks the excitement and intrigue that exists in so many other aspects of physics to me. That doesn’t make me like physics any less. </p>
<p>I was an Electrical Engineering major and didn’t like the physical electronics and wasn’t thrilled about circuits and who gets Fields anyway. But you push through and do it.</p>
<p>No, you don’t need to like absolutely everything about your major. Take my case: I was a linguistics major and loathed (utterly <em>loathed</em>!) syntax, which at the time was the biggest deal in the field (at least in the US). Doesn’t matter—I loved the field as a whole, gritted my teeth and took my required syntax classes, and now, a couple degrees later, am doing linguistics as a career.</p>
