Thinking, Thinking
I'm watching Shark Tank as of now, and most of the people selling their products to the "sharks" have been turned down. Some of them are looking for a great paying career. This brings me to what I want to do.
I've gone to The Art Institute to study Graphic Design. I realized in the second quarter of the first year, that my drawing skills weren't too good. If I had been drawing constantly, growing up, then I would not have changed majors.
After the switch from Graphic Design to Web Design, i felt a little better, but then began to wonder why I was in school. Creating web pages takes knowledge of HTML. I've used that code back in eighth grade and loved how seeing that typing letters and random codes could fascinate me by making a web page. A few more quarters later, I didn't enjoy it.
Since The Art Institute is a technical/vocational type of college, there were some General Education classes. I enjoyed classes in high school - it was a mix of everything. The University of Arizona is just like that in a way. So, after dropping my classes last year in October, my Mom and I went over to the UA. We spoke with an administrator, and learned it would be best to take a few classes at a community college.
But now, I feel I should slow down and just think of what I'm good at, and find a school to do it.
My uncle has suggested Photojournalism. To me, that sounds very fun and interesting. But, when I break that word up, I'm very positive it involves photography and writing. Two interests that I have come to like. But, I'm sure it may be more than that.
I want to ask you, the reader, a question, but I can't seem to form it. My ideas are: Was is it a challenge to find your career? Did your interests fit into your career or did you have to learn new interests for it?

That sounds like a good major for you. What do you think?
It wasn't difficult for me to find my major--- I took a test in high school that narrowed down what areas I was good in (health and science). I first majored in pre med, but dropped it in my first semester because I realized there was no one to finance me becoming a doctor; I chose a career in nursing which has been very rewarding for me. I've been a Registered Nurse for about 14 years. I love helping people get well.
