Thinking of dropping a degree and going for another one, I mean should I? After giving it a year.
I'm in my first year of a BA degree, my subjects are Psychology, English Lit & Education. Things are not working well for me, I am not liking it so far, disappointed with my college and myself. All I think of is working in the media field, taking interviews, hosting shows, working in publishing companies in abroad. A reason I choose English Lit & Psychology at the first place, plus options are very limited here, their isn't much choice for a degree and I can't move out yet. It's so freaking confusing! Should I drop this degree and go for a media degree instead? Is it too late? Is the media field safe? What if I loose everything and ruin my career? Family disappointment is another issue :-( Failure scares me so much.
