Should I transfer schools? [College transfer]
Hello CareerVillage community! I'm currently a college student in my second year. I'm about to complete my fourth semester at my public school, where I'm pursuing a BFA in Studio Art, concentration in Graphic Design. I just declared my major as Graphic Design, but the program that I am in is lacking in many, many ways. It's not rigorous enough for me, and I feel like it's not challenging enough for me. My university is definitely not known for this major. I did want to transfer out in my first year, and planned on transferring out after making a portfolio, but I stayed for the friends I made and the communities I became a part of. But with the major that I'm in, it's a bit of a tricky situation. Should I be looking to transfer to more professional art schools? I do feel confident enough in my ability, but I have no portfolio. It's too late to make one, and I don't have time to apply as a junior transfer. It's a bit of a pickle. I know it's late, but I really didn't want to leave my school right now, but after spending a semester in upper-level Graphic Design courses, I'm seeing how awful the program is. Should I stick to my college right now, in a very lacking BFA program, or attempt to transfer to a more expensive school and wait a year to apply? I'm conflicted. Thank you in advance! tags: #art #graphic-design #college-transfer #art-school #fine-art #transfer

Should I pursue the Marketing and Information Systems degree?
I've reached the point in my academic career wherein I must make a choice. I'm applying for transfer, and I have to choose my concentration for my major. I am very apprehensive and scared in making the choice. I am a business major and am presently taking some more business-oriented courses: Macroeconomics, Financial Accounting, Business Writing, etc. I've noticed through my time in college that my interests tend to fall into things that require me to be creative: Writing, music, speech, and so forth. These areas are also my stronger skills. I am less moved by numbers, though I am capable of making the calculations once I've been taught. I've maintained a 4.0 GPA the past three semesters, and am on the path to graduating with a transferable Associate degree in Business Administration and an Associate Degree in Communications. I'm looking at Cal State Fullerton; they have a program there that I find may be very lucrative and suitable for someone such as myself: Marketing and Information Systems. However, I am aware that pursuing Marketing may not be a safe and stable choice. If I major in Finance I'll be able to find my way into the Marketing Field than the other way around. During my academic pursuits, though, I want to enjoy what I am learning to enhance my engagement and efforts. I'm afraid if I go into Finances, the duration of studies will be full of material I don't find as engaging, which may in turn take a toll on my drive and passion. I know I can change concentrations at University, but I've been informed that it is really hard to do. I don't want to waste time, but I also don't want choose something I find more creative and interesting over a stable future. Some additional questions would be, is Marketing a stable career choice? Is it fruitful even for those who don't wound up working for incredibly successful businesses? Is it a feasible goal or are successes in the field rare? #college #business #marketing #career-choice #college-transfer #specialization
