Tough Decisions

I had planned to make a post that was rather detailed but I kept putting it off and putting it off until now I'm forcing myself to write after midnight when I'm tired. So this may be briefer than I wanted, in which case I will bring you up to speed on what's happening with me and James. We'll see how long this is after I cover the important subject.

As some of you know, I have changed my mind multiple times about what I want my future career to be. I applied to school with the intent of being a police officer. Then before school started I changed to architect, but after the first day of classes I changed again to architectural drafter (to be fair, the former was a mistake I made when reading the titles of the programs). My problem is twofold: I have so many interests, and I cannot decide which I want to pursue further.

So, here we are. I am thinking about changing my major yet again. This time to Political Science.

Why?

Well, I have been into politics ever since the 2008 presidential election and enjoy it very much. I can certainly do and achieve more with a Political Science degree, especially if I go the entire way to a Ph.D., than I can with an Associates in Applied Science degree in Computer-Aided Drafting (not to mention pay will be considerably greater).

It has always been in my mind that I wanted to teach, following in the footsteps of my parents. With a Ph.D. I can become a professor at a university. Not only that, but there are MANY other career paths for Political Science majors that I may be interested in pursuing.

Should I choose to do this, I will have to change my major to General Studies and finish my final year at community college. Why change the major? So I can focus on the general courses I need to graduate from the university. That way I won't have to attend the university for four years, rather only two or three at the most (it all depends on how much I can get done in my final year at CC). Although Mom has suggested I finish my current major, then transfer and change majors. That way I have something to fall back on should I decide I do not wish to pursue Political Science after all (which wouldn't be surprising). Either way, after my final year at community college, I will transfer to a local university with the focus of graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science

Now, I have not made a final decision yet. Dad agrees I will have more options with a BA degree than with a AAS degree. But he hasn't given much more insight than that. Mom's advice I already stated above. I like to have as much advice as I can get before I make a decision such as this.

I am interested in what you have think, if you please.

Oh, and sorry for bad grammar and such. My eyes are heavy.

The Hunt

Ok, so a couple posts ago there was something in the comments about me looking for a boyfriend or something of that nature.

To be honest, that's probably one of the last things on my mind right now. I mean, sure it'd be really nice to have one but I'm more concerned with school. Honestly, I'm not even actively looking for one.

I am content with life right now.
