Should I Have A Minor?

By Franklin Skribbit


The college years are some of the most exciting in every person's life. In this time, each person has the opportunity to decide what they want to do with the rest of their life, and what kind of study will help each individual most to meet these goals.

How many of us really knew what we wanted to do when we were 18 or 19? College is meant to be a place to experiment, learn, and find out who you are and who you want to be. But, before you change your major, there are a few things you want to do before you call your advisor and make it official.

For many of us college was and is an opportunity to entirely reinvent ourselves. Most students leave home behind and bring only brand new everything to their dorm room or apartment. In our haste to leave our immature high school persona behind, we may be unconsciously eliminating the things that may bring us comfort when we're feeling out of place.

Changing your major is not a decision that you should take lightly. If you have been considering a change, take a look at your current situation. If you are truly unhappy with or overwhelmed by your current course load or degree path, this may be a good indicator that you need a change.

Deciding on a major is one of the first things that you must decide as you enter college, but remember that it is important to choose a major you will enjoy, so feel free to take many classes in different studies before deciding on a firm major.

If you're away from home pursuing a business administration degree in Logan, sometimes all you need to feel better is to know when you're going home next. Purchase a ticket and make the necessary arrangements for your next visit. This will give you something to look forward to.

While your friends and roommates may have a lot to say on the subject, it is important for you to consider that they may not quite have the perspective that you need to help you make this choice. If you have a mentor, go to them for advice, and listen to their suggestions and advice. If you haven't already found a mentor, you can also seek out the school advisors.

Get Out and Get Involved

That being said, it is also okay to opt out of a minor. A particularly strenuous major or outside experience in your field can also serve to set you apart as an ideal candidate. If it comes down to choosing either a minor, or an amazing internship in your field, the internship may be the better call.

When it comes down to it, the decision of whether or not to have a minor is up to you. Let your goals, ambitions, and passions make the decision for you.
