Should I change my Marketing degree into a General Business Degree?
Hello everyone I am looking for some career guidance I am a senior in my last semester of university. I believe I have lost interest in my marketing degree although I enjoyed learning many topics within my curriculum when I completed my required internship during the last semester of my junior year I found myself bored and unhappy. I was set to complete an internship position within my sophmore year but due to family health issues this did not occur. I tried applying to many other marketing positions but had no luck landing any which made me feel uneasy about the value of my degree and how it would not provide me the stability I was seeking. However, I was trying to stay positive throughout my college years as I thought my marketing major was a good fit for me, but after completing my internship I feel as though it is not for me as I am not being challenged. In addition I now feel that marketing does not give me a sense of fufillment as well. I feel ashamed because I know think I have wasted four years towards something that does not align with me. My question now is that would it be better to change my major to general if I am no longer interested in Marketing? I do not want employers to box me into marketing side of things since I no longer want to work within that space. I am now open to the idea of working within finance and human resources but my university does not offer these majors. There is only a finance minor. I have even thought about just graduating with a general business degree and pursuing an elementary teaching certification as one of the requirments is to have a bachelors degree. Please let me know your thoughts as I am feeling stuck and behind in life.

What equine degree/college should I pursue?
Ok so I have a few questions: What are some horse careers/jobs that aren’t as well known? What colleges have an emphasis on horsemanship and not just competing/riding? What equine degree is the most general to any horse job (in case I wanna explore different aspects)? Is it okay to go to a college with an emphasis on horses as a slight beginner? I’m definitely not a beginner, but I’m definitely not a horse guru either, so I feel like I’d be behind. . . Right now I’m planning on going to BYU Provo for my required credits than going to a college with an emphasis on horses. . . Is this a good plan? While I’m at BYU should I get a part time job working at a barn? I just want the most experience I can get. Little bit about me if it helps: I’m definitely not the stereotypical cowgirl. I’ve worked at a barn with horses for 4 years, and I have been training this gelding for a bit with my trainer. I have an emphasis on relationship and trust with the horses, bodywork, and training is something I love doing. I’ve never competed, and I’m not sure if I’d be interested in doing so. . . You can tackle any or all questions, thanks for reading!
Art Teacher / Art Therapist
Hello, I’m a junior about to graduate this September and I am a little lost on exactly how to go about my college / career. Currently, I’ve narrowed down my career choices to either an Art Teacher or an Art Therapist. (With ambitious plans on eventually doing both, not simultaneously of course.) Planning on going to community college for 2 years to get my associates, but after that I would prefer to transfer to a college somewhere northeast-ish (NY, NJ, PA, etc.) for my bachelors & masters. I don’t have a specific question to ask, but any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
