Im currently in my third at university. I just transferred to a new slightly better school this semester. At my old school I was a history major and an astronomy minor. Now I am an astronomy major but my new school has all these gen ed requirements that make me have to retake some courses and I can’t graduate in less than 3 years. At my old school I was enough credits ahead that I could graduate a semester earlier if I wanted. But since I have to take half the credits for my major/minor at my current university to graduate from here I have a long ways to go.
I also have taken a lot of credits relating to a environmental/natural resources track. I really like animals and have considered zoology, ecology, and wildlife biology. I am not too far in being close to getting a B.S. degree, as I only have taken one semester of biology and calculus 1. I really like animals and sometimes think the only job I would actually like is something where I can study/ be around animals.
Anyways I am so lost on what to do. I am close to getting a B.A. degree, but worry that it will be a useless achievement and present me with career options of none I would like. I don’t want to be a lawyer or teacher. I also want to make enough money to support myself and my girlfriend who I intend to marry. She thinks I will hate any job I get and I should choose to do something that at least will make enough money.As you can see I am very lost and conflicted. I feel like I am so far into college and I can’t just change my focus of study again. So yea I don’t know what to do.
