Do any of you guys get where you feel guilty over your career choice because it has nothing to do with curing diseases or helping refugees or feeding the hungry or restoring the broken or basically anythign else that improves the world in a seirous way, and conflicted over your choice of major because it's not really your career choice but it's the closest thing that can also get you a job after school, but you're also really shit at all the stuff involved in this major, but majoring in stuff more relavent to what you actualy want to do is a financial death sentence and you're sick as fuck of being poor, which also makes you feel guilty because other people have it way worse than you and your mom always told you to do what makes you happy even if it's not what makes you rich?
cause thats where I'm at :/
I want to work as a book editor with new authors. I'm majoring in Journalism to do so. Journalism isn't acutally something I terribly mind the idea of working in, I don't hate it, but it's not my passion, and it teaches editing, writing, story-finding, and analytical skills. It's just that in terms of serious news journalism I'm terrible at it. I'm not interested in the news. It sounds like a terrible thing for an adult to say, but I'm not. I follow big events and global stuff, but the thing is there's a lot of stuff going on in the world and I can't keep up with all of it okay? And I can't care about all of it, and I don't enjoy reading, watching, or tracking down the news at all. Mostly I get bored.
But majoring in creative writing or english literature is a financial death sentence (sorry, I know theres a bunch of folks on here who plan on or are doing just that, but yeah, sorry, it's true. These are not things that people look for on a resume, and bills keep going after school.). And every time we're talking in journalism about how journalists are able to give voices to the voiceless, or about how motions and change have been started because of news stories or photos, I feel worse for not wanting to work in that field :(
