<\/a><\/p>\nMany students start college very passionate about a specific career. \u201cI have always wanted to become a teacher, since I was in elementary school,\u201d states Farah Charara, a student from University of Michigan Dearborn. \u00a0\u201cI chose my current major of Special Education because I have always had a passion for working with kids along with making a difference in the lives of others.\u201d Charara found something she enjoyed doing and knew she was going to stick with it for the rest of her college experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very stressed about what career path I wanted to take when I was in high school,\u201d mentions Nour Hassan, former college student at University of Michigan Dearborn. \u00a0Hassan started of her college years enrolling in nursing school, later on changing her major. Nour stated, \u201cI changed my major to Health Policy Studies because I wanted to go into healthcare but I didn\u2019t want to do anything clinical so I went down the administrative path.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI changed my major very early in so all of the classes I took were applied towards my degree,\u201d adds Hassan. Luckily for Nour, some of the classes she took for her first major were required for the major she changed to. \u201cNow that I have completed my bachelors degree in health policy studies, and currently am working in my subject area, I wish I would have taken more time to find my passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ayman Ismail, a Real Estate Agent for Century 21, Electrical Engineer at Chrysler, and former Baker College Professor shows his point of view as someone who has seen and experienced what college students go through. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy, I can tell you that. As a student myself, I wanted to do more than just major in something, and it\u2019s because I was determined.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs a professor, I always noticed that students were just not interested in what they were doing. It was those students that would end up dropping the class early off in the semester.\u201d Ayman noticed that those who changed their majors during college, lost money on classes that later on became unnecessary and those students graduated later than they should have.<\/p>\n Ayman gives his advice to all students, \u201cExplore while you are in high school, experiment, get to see the world around you. Get to know yourself better and find the thing you are most passionate about.\u201d He adds, \u201cIt\u2019s ok to change your major. If you find yourself not interested, try something else. Just remember that your education will always be there and it\u2019ll come to your advantage someday.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
