What is the right career for me?
Hello! I am looking for advice regarding my current career path. I am a freshman at the University of Florida Online majoring in Communications, Sciences, and Disorders, with a focus on becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist. However, I do not know if I am making the right decision. I picked this career because I wanted to work with kids, I am good at analyzing and synthesizing information (like for diagnosing patients), and I knew I needed to get a college degree to secure my future in this current economy. The problem is, I hate college and I do not want to be stuck pursuing a degree I am not sure I even really want for the next five years. However, up until this point I have only taken General Education classes and I have not actually gotten into classes that actually have to do with my major (another point of frustration for me as I did dual enrollment for two years in high school and yet I am still paying for classes that have absolutely nothing to do with my major and I have no desire to take), so maybe my perspective will change when I finally get to those courses. I am looking for something that might take less time and can utilize some of the credits I've already earned, as well as my skills and interests. In addition to the things previously mentioned, I am working a part-time job that involves graphic design, and interior decorating, which I like doing. I am open to suggestions and advice! I would prefer a degree that is worth my time; that is, a career that makes decent pay.
