Came to a Decision
Mar. 19th, 2010 03:28 amSo, some of you may remember that back in early December I went a bit depressive and stuff, and came up with a plan to get myself to a better place. So I figure it's been a while, and I'm actually about to finish my counseling(what idiot came up with a 10-session limit for my campus counseling center?), and I've come to a decision on a major.
I actually took a couple of tests to figure out what my strengths are, and what jobs are best suited to those strengths. Then, over spring break last week I did some research on some different careers, and I've come to a decision about what major I'm going to be switching to. I'm going to go for an Anthropology major, with a concentration in Archaeology, and probably minoring in psychology or sociology. I realized that as much as I enjoy chemistry and science, I wouldn't be happy sitting in a lab all day and doing the same basic motions over and over and over. If I have a BA in Anthropology I'll be doing field work(which is what I want to do), but I won't be stuck in a lab every single day. It'll be some lab stuff(filing, sorting, classifying, etc), dig sites, and working with museums and such. It took my mom a little while, but after she thought over it some she realized that it really was a good fit for me. So, hopefully in a couple of days I'll go talk to my advisor about changing my major and sorting that out.
One of my friends said: "It'll be like CSI, only not as dead." And my response was: "Well, technically, it's like CSI stuff, but more dead."
But I really have to thank everyone who offered me support and advice during all that. Especially
