Hi Aowyn,

I do think it is easier to do well in school when the tasks are of interest. While not every subject will be of interest, there are some you will have to take, such as general education requirements, when it comes to a major or studying a subject with a career in mind, it does help to care about the subject. As an example, for my bachelor's degree, I studied English. I am very interested in many aspects of the study of English, such as writing and editing, so it helped me through my undergraduate career. However, for my master's degree, I studied Leadership and Organizational Studies, which is under the Business field. To me, it was not as interesting and I wish I had chosen something that was of more interest to me, rather than something merely for the title in hopes that it would boost my resume.

Wayne’s Answer

Hi Aowyn. I would say that it may not be necessarily easier but your chances of succeeding are much greater if you're passionate about what you are studying.

If you don’t have any real passion for your subject, you'll eventually run out motivation. You might struggle to attend lectures and complete assignments, and will feel generally miserable. Life’s too short to feel so down studying something you have no interest or passion in. In the long run, it’s better for your sanity to choose a subject you love to begin with. Same goes with when it comes to finding a graduate job after university!

Good luck!

Yasemin’s Answer

Hi Aowynn! I agree with previous responses! Having an interest in classes is important and passion should be combined with your goals because it can definitely make it easier to achieve them. For example, I plan to be a physician, I definitely did struggle and even continue to struggle with some topics at times but my interest in medicine and my love for it kept growing to where school seemed easier and not something to do just because. I think it's important to find what interests you and pursue that. Sometimes I met students in college who had difficulty in classes because they weren't sure of their choices for the future or why they were taking a particular class; this can be true because finding your interest can take time but without motivation or passion for your goals it can be more difficult to get through the steps to be where you want to be. My advice would be to find what interests you and make a list of what to complete to obtain your goals in life.

I hope this helps and best of luck!
