Intimidation

The other day I attended a meeting for the Internal Transfer Program. It’s what you have to go through in order to switch to a major outside of the college that you’re currently a part of. It was intimidating at the least! The advisor started off by asking how many of the people attending were looking to get into the College of Business and everyone raised their hand. This was the fifth session she had. She only has a limited number of spots she is able to fill. It was not looking good for all of us who wanted to become business majors. As the presentation progressed, she went on to explain the benefits of majors. When coming across business she simply said there are none. This blew my mind because there are so many kids attending college as business majors. I know of many adults that graduated college with business majors. As she went on to explain her opinion, it became clear. She explained that if you want to eventually be in business as a career you have the ability to major in something you’re passionate about and then get a masters or MBA in business. She also explained that graduate schools will accept student into the business program even if they majored in English or Political Science. That really made me feel a lot better. I am not passionate about business but I am skilled in the areas that make it up. Now I know I have the opportunity to major in a subject I’m passionate about while still being able to eventually go into business.
