What I think I want to major in I just turned 25 years old and although I have my AA already (Liberal Arts Emphasis in Biomedical Sciences) I don't have a degree or education that I can go further with. I only have that degree because I took all the necessary pre-reqs for the nursing program. Well after a year of working at the hospital and practically hating it (for various reasons) I switch my major to computer science... However this semester has been incredibly hard for me and I had to drop 2 of my classes in fear I would fail them if I didn't drop. Computer science ended up being a lot harder than I thought it would (I realized I like being on the user end of computers much more than the back end doing the coding and stuff) so I decided to change my major once again...


Well I'm proud to say that I think I've finally found what I've been looking for. I decided I'm going to get my BS in Business I'm taking a few pre-req classes at the local community college in my hometown and then I'm applying to the closest Cal State University which has an excellent program. I'm also considering getting my MBA

That is all! I'm excited so I just wanted to share
Thanks for this!

Hi you welcomed me thank you. I want you to know you will face your pain when you are ready and able to. Many circumstances must be place. First you must feel safe. Second you must believe in this. It was not your choice it was was what happened. Do not believe people who say you are avoiding or scared. If thats your emotional state it suggests your not quite ready. I would be happy to visit more. Healing is possible though it is an overwhelming disoder even for a spouse. I am especially knowledable in this area all i can do i will rvn
