The waiting is the hardest part…

It’s always tough. I loved my university, and I was very fortunate that my parents told me I could go wherever I wanted. I stepped on campus and thought it was so beautiful and I wanted to major in engineering, and it’s a very engineering school ( at least in 89-93) i never encouraged my kids to apply because it costs a lot and for what they wanted to study, not worth the money.

Now it’s been 3 of my own. One wanted to create a major in Tudor History, but ended in Communications with an excellent PR firm. One wanted to only be a sports broadcast journalist at ESPN and thought he could only go to one school with one major and if that didn’t work, he would die. Got in, got major, realized not for him and will be starting at Accenture with a fin/quant job. Third, no idea what to study (but Sports) , no career Objective (but Sports) and is going to taking summer classes because they have been working invited as a research assistant in Biochemistry, and now want to major in that. If anyone had told me last year that slacker kid of their own volition would be taking Calc 2, Physics 2, Biochemistry Engineereing and Chem 2, I would have rolled n the floor in hysterics.

You are very lucky to have so many paths open, but it could change any day.
