A lot of people are conflicted when it comes to school and their future. Most people have no idea what to study or what they want to do as a future career. However once you figure that out you are left with an even bigger question: Do i want to study what i like or study something that will get me a good paying job? This question is a very important one that can alter and affect your whole college career. While yes it is good to want a good paying job and to want to have money because everything in this world requires money but does this mean that you put yourself in a position where you might not like what you are studying? If you study a topic you like it is more interesting for you and you will enjoy it more. Being stuck in a job you do not like will only make you miserable, yes it may pay good but whats the point if you can not stand it? Wouldn’t it be better to study and get a job in a field that you like and enjoy? It may not pay as well as some other fields but you may end up happier in the long run. Some people are able to find a balance those between those, they find a topic they like and that pays good and that is good for them. Most people do not get that luxury. I personally think it is better to be in a field that you enjoy. You will have more fun, have a more fulfilling life. Yes money might be important but so is happiness. Besides no one says you have to stick with one job your whole life so maybe you go into it for the money first but if you become unhappy then change. You make the decisions it is your choice on what you study and what you want from yourself in the future but let me ask you this why make yourself unhappy?
