I don't know what to do with my life. When I started college I thought that business would be a good field for me, so I aimed for that. But, the more I learn about it the less I am sure.
I have been trying to narrow down which field of business I would like to go into. After taking a year of accounting, I knew I didn't want to do that. Working at Careerbuilder has also shown me that I do not want to go into sales. I am currently looking into Finance because it is relatively general and the array of jobs that can be sought after with a degree in Finance are endless. I also seriously considered double majoring in Finance and Management because I thought it would be nice to open my own bakery. Lately, however, I have realized that if I did that I would probably just end up hating baking and I really don't want to turn one of my hobbies/stress relievers into a task. I really wish I could speak Spanish (or any foreign language), but I know that I won't be able to learn it in a classroom, so I am planning on studying abroad in a Spanish speaking country where I will be forced to use it/learn it, but I have to figure out when and where and I have to figure it out soon before it is too late and before I chicken out. I think my biggest problem is that I skated through school previous to this, not really having to worry about planning things or working very hard, and now that I am in college, I can't just coast through my classes, if I want something to happen, I have to make it happen.
I have never really had that "drive" to change the world, but the more I continue with school, the more useless I feel and I am not sure what I should do to give myself that feeling of purpose. Am I seriously spending 4 years in college just so that I can work in a cubicle for some miscellaneous company for the rest of my life???
