Anyone else who constantly feels like switching majors
Lifestyle too, in general..
Honestly, I can't imagine how much time I've wasted of my post secondary education that I've had these constant feelings for trying to get into something new and different.
I originally went into Biotechnology because I was interested in it. (I originally wanted to get into Kinesiology but I thought I wouldn't like what I'd be doing with my degree in the end. I mean looking at the professions that it dealt with I kinda lost motivation to keep going with it). So with Biotechnology I mean at least I liked Biology compared to Physics and Chemistry but going into that and having to go deeper into subjects like Chemistry and Math which tended to annoy me I wanted to back out. Silly of course, eventually I'll HAVE to come back to Math one way or another but since I had a strong liking for Computers and Networks I decided I wanted to go into that.
I like it, I mean just the idea of it and thinking about it in the future I can see myself happy with that decision but like right now I seem to be leaning away from that and I want to go back into something like Kinesiology which I enjoyed in Highschool like exercise science and the whole biology side of things. I mean I found I was motivated to work and my grades were higher in those classes too compared to anything else. I was able to realistically try because I enjoyed it.
Now I don't know what to do because I have an interest for the Tech world and Kinesiology. I'm currently not enrolled in school because I took time off.
What would you do and do any of you feel like you deal with things like these? How do you overcome it?
I don't really feel like I can double major because in my current position I feel like it would be too stressful if I did.

What are you majoring in?
Engineering is kicking my butt rn. But even tho i know it'll only get harder, i always tell myself its going to be worth it because not only will I be financially stable from it, but Im going into something I genuinely love doing. Its all about getting the pre-reqs out of the way.
i feel that way currently. i picked a major that is hard to get into. i need like 3.0 gpa among my,pre major courses and the courses do bell curve. only top 6 gets a-.
[quote=betaboi101]How far did you get into the biotechnology major? If you've only taken the earlier courses, I'm sure that many of the biology related courses you have taken would translate over to some of the required credits that a kinesiology major needs. I would go for kinesiology because it seems as though you actually like the major itself. If anything, if you do not see yourself being some kind of exercise related employee such as a rehabilitation specialist or insert any type of athletic trainer, you can always pursue the medical degree or opt to be a physicians assistant instead.[/quote]
Yeah, I did get like a bit over a year I believe. Yeah, that's what I was saying I could use whatever I got from those classes to help gear towards something like Kinesiology. That's not to say it mightn't get tough though. I was thinking so myself too, but I do like computers and networking those intrigue to me more too. I really don't see myself being some exercise related employee nor any of those. Probably Physician or Nutritionist at best but I mean it doesn't seem they progress to other doctors/practitioners level anyways and this is without med school.
@Avatar Yeah I understand what you are talking about I know that begins to happen further into the last remaining semesters of the major. Eh, I hadn't given it much thought.
I just want to be a theatre major but I'm afraid I'm not good enough as a lighting designer to make a career out of it so I'm doubling theatre with chemistry.
I just want to sit down and do nothing ): Too bad society doesn't work that way

But biotechnology has very little to do with biology so I'm not sure why you went into it. Its almost all chemistry and physics based.

@AbsymalTorment @ExitEnter Not that I have a problem with Manual Labor, though are they all really hands on work type of thing? I don't really have any experience on what they are based on. I understand Mechanics, mining stuff like that but is there more to it?
I just want a job I know I will enjoy in the end, I mean if I'm not into anything in trade school why bother? I also want something that pays decently which I know Trade school can provide.
[quote=AbsymalTorment]Go to trade school. That's what I'm doing. College is a waste of time and money. You go there, sit for 3 hours, listen to the teacher, watch powerpoints, go home, do the homework and come back next week.[/quote]
Not every one wants to do manual labour until they die.
