worst advice ever. Why on earth would you ever say that? There is no time limit on when you should have done something.
Himmler if you want to do pharmacy you have to realize how hard it is, and then if you still want to go for it.

thank you. the only thing im worried about is i am not strong at all in math, so i dont think id do well in calc or chemistry

If you arent good at things like Chem and all the shit you need to become a pharmacist than dont even bother, unless you plan on turning your life around and learning all that stuff. But in reality most college students wont try that.

haha maybe true, I was gonna edit that out after posting it but he quoted me already.. I'm just kind of venting my frustration over that entire program in this thread.. I've never failed in any academic pursuit until pharmacy... just sucks... plus I'm still not quite sobered up yet so that multiplies the frustration happy:

it seems like you're trying to look at a career pathway in the wrong viewpoint. Instead of worrying about how much money something pays, see if you even have the skills for it.

I'm sorry, but when they say, "In America, you can be whatever you want to be." That's not the case. If you want to be an architect, you have to have experience in the field with a portfolio before you're even accepted into a college. You can't be a music performance major if you're "ok" at playing. You gotta be in those all-state ensembles in highschool if you want to be considered for it.

I'm going into Music Education. I'll admit it; the pay will suck terribly for the first years of my career--probably around $20,000. The most I'll probably make is $65,000/yr if I stick with the same school district for 35 years.


So you should think about what kind of skills you already have that you can build off from. Think about things that interest you. Trust me, you'll do alot better in a class that you like rather than struggling through a class that you dislike. Yeah, you need to think about salaries and stuff. Don't get me wrong. But I don't think it should be a major deciding factor.

There are not too many things I picture myself good at, just computers is really all i can think of that i have any skills at.

i took a basic graphic design class last fall semester, and it was boring as shit. i got a B+ though

you in college yet? do your gen ed stuff first, you might develope an interest in something along the line, but it iis best to have an idea as to what you want to do before you start takign classes. you like computers, you think about computer science, engineering or stuff like that? what do you like to do? you llike setting up game servers, networking, making pcs, modding etc. maybe you can major in business and maybe start your own pc gaming company or go work for one.

Himmler 08-18-2005 02:35 AM

yeah im starting my sophomore next month...i was thinking about business but not too sure.

Madmartagen 08-18-2005 02:40 AM

i was originally going to major in history with an emphasis on education, but now i realiize that i hate kids and history is becoming more like a hobby to me than a real passion. ive been riding a desk for the past 3 years so a business degree seems kinda practical to me. ive always been intereested in electronics and i like computers alot. im trying to get into that by learning more about programing, hardware and software engineering but my curriculum was made for majoring in history. to change my major now would set me back another year or two. the thing is to get any degree, that way your resume shows that you have what it takes to learn and do the work. you could always minor in business or something else to fall back on. my sisters boss is a financing manager at Ameriquest, she has a degree in psychology oOo:

Assuming a reasonable level of intelligence, you can do whatever the fuck you want provided you're willing to put in the effort required. Motivation is the single most important factor in your scholastic success...
