Originally posted by DR1665 I started in graphic design, changed into visual communitcation (commercial art/advertising), went into a little psychology, and then bought a Talon. Almost six years later, I started at DeVry to be an electronics technician, but I found the local market saturated with those guys, so I switched into computer info systems (programming/dbase admin). Then I realized that shit was fucking boring and lame and went to technical management. Now I've got about $70k in student loans just itching to pull me under. Here's what I've learned: 1. You need the piece of paper. Get it as cheaply as you can. 2. You don't want to pigeon-hole yourself into something you will someday hate and not be able to use. (Programming in my case.) 3. I love car stuff and rallying more than anything else, but I need to know how to make something from that. With all that said, attend the local state university - good name, affordable -and go after a business administration or management degree. They're going to give you tools you can use in the future - basic accounting, business terminology, etc.. This way, it doesn't matter what field you look into, you've got some management aptitude and you can run with the ball. BONUS: Learning how to run a business can come in handy if you, I dunno, decide to start your own business one day, which is really the only way I think anyone can truly enjoy what they do. Hope this helps.
I think thats some very good advice, Im on the same path as you right now lol, Its my first year of college and I went into graphic arts, I really know the adobe software, realized all this print shop stuff isn't for me, it also does not help its in the same building as the industrial technology and I get to see guys taking engines apart daily , but im stuck in a classroom writing batch programs in photoshop to desaturat photos, I work at an insurance company and they have an opening in the data center where I would be basically building computers, so If I get that job I plan on changing majors to something like computer science
point is, lots of people change majors, its no big deal, you can always learn what you have learned.
