Do you know what percentage of teens crash their first car? I know I did, granted it was just a fender bender and was fixed, I had the car all up through most of college. Granted it was a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 with over 100k miles that i picked up for $2.5k off of a family member.
Secondly almost everyone changes their major in college. At least once.
I started as a as an architecture major, switched to accounting, then finally got my degree in finance. Now I am an accountant.
But that’s me, I am only saying this because when I was 17 going into college I told all the nay sayers nope. I wont crash...nope I wont change my degree. Then life happens... |
God isn't that the truth. I wrecked to but I think it was my 3rd car, I went through cars a lot lol, hell I still do its just me.
I wanted to be an Engineer, I still would like to have taken that path. However with all my time in the military, then my own business and then the private sector I was well versed and already had so many years in the IT Field that's where I choose to go because it was the smart choice to not waste over 10 years of experience (Crap its almost over 15 years... I am getting old... or it feels like it now) so I went with an Information Technology and Networking Security Degree.
Remember no matter what you do to pay the bill's, if you want to get out of college and have a real chance be involved in the field of study your pursuing even if its for free do it. Get everything you can for your resume because that first job after college can be a hard thing to get with no related experience and many fall into that trap.
Oh and Engineers make 3 figures quite often too as do many other professions. Don't set anything in stone just yet, look around and explore you have a chance to really find out a lot about what you can do and the options you have.
Again good luck... I am starting to feel like I'm giving advice to my son and he is only 7 this is just too soon lol.
