After visiting a few colleges over MEA break, something dawned on me. I'm only 17, and making one of the most important decisions of my life. Not only choosing where i will stay for the next 4 to 5 years, but a degree, and a career for the rest of your life (possibly). What if you make the wrong choice in which college to attend, and don't fit in or like the feel after living on campus? What if i decide to switch majors, and the major you want to enter isn't offered at the school you attend currently? College is way to expensive to make a mistake like that. Things like this shouldn't be taken lightly.
I feel that I will make the right choice, but how am I supposed to know what i want to do for the rest of my life?
Should we, and can we be trusted to make a huge decision like this at our age?
Well, I feel like at some time, you're going to need to make a decision. Think back ten years ago. What did you want to be then? I guess that by age 17, you should be able to make a decent decision; however, you'll probably hate your job anyways. Doesn't the majority of America?
ReplyDeleteI think that the majority of people do make this whole college thing a much bigger deal than it is. Do what you love (for me, it's math). Part of college is designed to help you make the career choice that is appropriate for you. Yeah, you are narrowing your options a little, but you aren't totally deciding your life.
Just my thinking.
