When To Switch Your Major

By Franklin Skribbit


When you are contemplating getting a business degree, it is important that you know how your degree can translate into a successful career. Understanding what the pros and cons of your business degree will ensure that you make the right decision concerning your degree.

However, sometimes colleges expect you to choose a major very quickly, sometimes before you have even taken a single class, and this can cause you to choose a major that you have little interest in, and do not enjoy. If you find yourself in a major you can't stand, it may be time to look around at your other options and find something you can actually see yourself doing.

First, there are a lot of people that go into market research analysis when they have a marketing degree. When you are a market research analyst, you will be required to learn all that you can about current trends and learning intimate details about the field you are working in.

You will be required to know your field backwards and forwards. By understanding what is going on in the field, trending products, and where the market looks like it will be going you can be sure that you are able to guide your company in the right direction.

Reason number one to change your major-the first reason that you may want to change your major is boredom. If you find yourself completely bored by your classes, it may be a good idea to reconsider your major.

Second, many people do not realize that while they are in a business program they will often be in one of the most competitive programs in their college. Business degrees are very desirable and because of this there are a lot of people that go into the business program.

When you are in a business program you will have to compete with a lot of prestigious students. Taking the time that you will need to study and keep up with the caliber of your program may be difficult if you have a wide variety of other interests in your college career.

Third, because so much of marketing has moved online being an SEO consultant can be a great way for an individual with a marketing degree to find a fulfilling career. As a search engine optimization consultant, you would help clients get business from their website.

Whether you are currently an English major and want to switch to a graphic design degree, or you are a psychology major wanting to switch to philosophy, you should think carefully about what you enjoy and what you would like to do for a living.

You should also consider the potential for graduate level schooling, and figure that into your decision. Whatever you decide, choose something that you love and have passion for, and you won't be disappointed!
