So, for those of you who don't have the attention span of a retarded hamster, if you know me personally, or if you've been reading this blog long enough you know that I have quite the issue with deciding what to do with my future. I've discussed it here, here, and heck, just typing in the keywords "future" or "college" in the search widget on the side will lead you to a plethora of words describing my thoughts on the matter.
Anyways, I was reading this article about the 10 most profitable college majors and highest paying college degrees and came to the conclusion that I am going to be a pauper.
Ok, I'm being dramatic. Again. But honestly, the only two things that interest me on the list are Engineering, and Economics, and even then it's like the tiny little side branches of the subjects.
ERG. Maybe I should just stop altogether with reading articles on the internet because each and everytime I read something like this it's just another doubt to add to the growing mountain of doubts that I have about everything else in my life.
Oh well. I'm going to clean my living room and little sister's room. Hopefully it's not a foreshadowing of any future career.
Oh my gosh, for once my major is on that list!! Seriously though, don't ever believe those things. I mean sure, there's some truth to engineering being a stable career, but your major is only what you make of it. And trust me, even an engineering graduate with a 2.5 GPA won't find work anywhere. Hard work and determination gets you money and happiness, not a couple words on your resume.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more engineers like you!
ReplyDeleteThose are really the 10 most profitable? Well... I don't think I'd ever do any of those at all :P That's precisely why I don't read those things, haha! They just make me more stressed...
ReplyDeletelol at the last line. I used to do that as well, researching careers and adding to doubts but I always found myself going back to a specific career choice and even though it might not be the most stable or leave me with the most money, i really enjoy the prospect.
