Blog #2: Is it more worth it to "follow your heart" or go for guaranteed success?

After reading Professor Goeller's response to my blog, I began thinking. My initial topic about choosing a college major was really rooted in what interests people/makes people happy. Would people rather be happy and choose a major which might not guarantee a job after graduation? What about going to grad school; are there any students who choose a degree based on preparing for graduate school, and if so, how many? I feel that if I research this topic, it could help other students, as well as myself, take a look at our majors/intended majors and get more insight into why we chose them and where we can take our careers.

First thoughts for my paper

When first registering for this class, I was a little nervous, as it is a writing course. I seem to have the habit of not knowing what I want to write about until I absolutely have to (admittedly, this is very last minute)...As an indecisive person, it really messes me up when it comes to school. I'm thinking that I might look into writing about how college majors affect a person's job upon graduation. I am an "undecided" major, so I'm already kind of reading about majors and how they look for certain jobs and what is in demand right now. It's also interesting when I hear about someone who majored in something but ended up with a completely different job. For example, my father went to school to be a police officer and ended up being a director at an insurance company. I feel like this is probably a common thing. Researching this topic could help me decide what I should major in to prepare for a job I'd like.
