Passions and Patience-Testers

This topic has come up frequently in my blogs lately, but that must be because it is so important in my life right now. What I want to do with the rest of my life is crucial.

In Marketing class today, Dr. Adkins spoke about following passions and of course it got me thinking. I love the business school. I love the classes, I love the way it is operated, I just love everything about it. Thus, I stick with marketing. However, this second major and minor dilemma is just a puzzle to me.

Do I pursue a second major in psychology, another classes I absolutely loved last semester? In this case, I could become a psychologist, I think. I feel like that really may be my calling. However, psychologists go to school forever and make less than money than business. Now psychiatrists go to med school but the pay off is substantial. The work is very similar (possibly even more exciting) to psychology, except than I can prescribe medicine. Unfortunately, I am not going down the right path during my undergraduate career to make it into medical school.

So what do I do?

I am meeting with the head of the Psychology department tomorrow to see what my options are with what I want to do in life (and in college.) I guess I can go from there.

Now going back to the passions spiel from earlier, I LOVE my Business Law class. Hands down my favorite class at Drake thus far (sorry Accounting.) It is the only class I have taken in law before, but this may be something I could do for the rest of my life. Ideally, I would love to be a Business Law professor. How practical is that? Hmmm....

I will close with a relatable story because I am told that is something in writing that makes the story memorable. Here it goes: in my Business Law class, a girl I will call Ezra for sake of identity confidentiality, sits behind me. When the professor describes another tort, or law, that exists, she has to come up with two "what if" scenarios to test the professor with. Now Ezra's questions are not only irrelevant, but they waste everyone else's time in class. Unfortunately, I am not able to ask the things I would like, because the professor is forced to move on due to time.

Now Ezra is the one in class that everyone cannot stand. The girl who causes everyone to sigh everytime they hear her voice. The girl that doesn't understand how she comes across to others. The girl that I have almost every class with this semester. Lucky me.

In conclusion, I realize that even a girl like Ezra cannot force me to dislike Business Law no matter how much she tries. So Ezra, continue to bring it.
