Since high school I always thought a journalism major would be good for me but then college happened. College opens your eyes to so many possibilities that I never imagined. There are so many different majors to choose from that make it very overwhelming. Should I stick with journalism? Or should I major in business? Or political science? I feel like my mind is all over the place. I have been stressing and stressing too much over this. But should I really be worrying? I have met two people who are prime examples of how a major does not decide your future career.

1. I met this young man who graduated from Elon and majored in journalism. So I'm thinking he definitely is working in a studio anchoring or possibly writing for a newspaper or magazine. But no. He is a producer for Buzzed. So now how did that happen!

2. Another example of how majors don't really matter is my cousin’s case. My cousin went to college and was a philosophy major. To be honest I have no clue what kind of job one can get in that field but he had to find something. Next thing you know he gets a job at a bank. I have no idea how something like this happens but it just proves having a certain major doesn't necessarily mean you will have a career in that specific field.

I am a freshman still trying to figure out my major but I think I am at the point where it will work itself out and I should stop worrying about it. Who knows, I could major in journalism and be the next producer! I guess we will have to wait and see!
