What do I major in?????!(%*#)
Just to share a little story…I came to UR excited about my Business classes ready to take on college as an economics major. So I took two econ classes - pretty good, but eh, maybe not my major. So I decided I’d do Finance. I took Accounting 201 and 202 and my world changed. I’m going to be an Accountant! Accounting is so interesting, I said.Now I’m going to be a junior in the fall. It’s the summer. I’ve spent my summer getting trained to be an EMT, shadowing doctors, learning anatomy, and watching Discovery Health. I decided that a career in medicine is now way more interesting than a career in business. So I dropped Accounting 301 and Business statistics, and registered for Chem 141. I’m now (planning on) going to med school shortly after graduating (if I get in).So I asked Dr. Vaughan, the director of pre-health studies, if this was normal. His response: Absolutely. One of the beauties of a liberal arts school like UR is the ability to take classes here and there and everywhere. Are there music majors that end up in law school? Absolutely. Biology majors that end up in Business? Probably. Take whatever you want. Your interests will change. Your major will change. It’s OK!
