Choosing my major came from a lot of trial and error. I was initially a Music Performance Major at Metro State, but I found myself at odds with the curriculum and teachers to where I couldn't continue in the program. I looked at doing another major in the same school year, this time in English Composition. I enjoy a good argument, and knew I'd be poised to do well in a Rhetoric and Argumentative emphasis. But weighing the options for a future job, I didn't think it would be wise to invest in something that would be hard to find work for.
My dad's a longtime graphic designer, and showed me how to use design to communicate ideas from an early age. For a long time, I just thought that it's something that my dad did, but looking at how design affect almost everything in today's society, I thought I would take a crack at it and go back to school. And I'm glad I made the choice to come back.
I totally get trying to find your place. A major can be reflective of what you’ll make of your career, so I understand being unsure. My mom gave me some wise advice though, I think, which is to do what you want to do and not what you feel like you have to.
