It's tough, I went through the same thing in college. I started off learning recording and didn't switch to a different major until my junior year. I felt that sound contracting was a better major because it had a lot more to do with design. On top of it I was told by the head of that department that the field was growing by leaps and bounds. Finally when I got out of college I found that he was completely wrong, there are no jobs and even electricians who do similar work have no work either. So here I am a year later owing tons of money and working at an almost minimum wage job just to pay bills. In other words, Laura, don't buy into the falsehood that a degree brings a good job or you are gaurenteed a job when you get out. I wish I would have taken my time going into school instead of going straight out of Highschool, but I was pressured by everyone to go and did not stand up for myself. Also not having a degree does not mean you can't get a job or earn good money. There are plenty of intelligent, hard working people out there who have never had a degree. Look at the people in the trades for example; they can easily get into a trade school with no degree and wind up making more usually than those with one. A degree isn't the end all be all. I would say if you are unsure of what you want to do; than it might be time to re-evaluate your options. It takes a long time sometimes, I've considered going back to school for my Masters; but still have no idea what field I would go into. Good luck to you.  |
