Personally, I can not excel at something I do not enjoy. I spent my first year of college taking classes that I couldn’t stand. It was a huge struggle and I had to perpetually motivate myself to complete assignments. This year I tried something new and took classes that interested me and my grades increased tremendously. Is a 2.6 really all that impressive if it’s attached to a business degree? Or does it look better to have a 3.8 in a major you worked hard for, regardless the title? Albeit job security is pleasant. But a person shouldn’t pursue a major because they think they should according to their parents, or guidance counselor, or society. A person should pursue a major according to what makes them happy. If you major in something you love you’ll push yourself, you’ll be eager and you will thrive. Another argument is that sometimes doing what you love isn’t going to make you a lot of money. I believe that in any career, in anything that you do, you must be passionate and you must have desire. It does not matter what you are passionate about only that you are. How happy will you be if you’re stuck in a job that you hate. I don’t want to wake up one day when I’m 50 years old and gain the bitter realization that I have spent every day of my life wasting it on a job I can’t stand.  A lot of people question if they’ll get a job with a degree that seems unrealistic, but you’ll never know if you don’t try. You’ll have a much higher drive to find a job if it’s with a degree you’re devoted to and believe in. Either way the future is unknown and something you love may in fact make the amount of money you love as well. Take the small steps to whatever makes you happy and maybe those small steps will lead you somewhere greater.
