New interest in the middle of junior year - is it too late? Read description please!
Hi! I’m a junior right now almost ending my first semester. I have not found any interest or passion in anything that I would major in in college. I’m not looking to switch majors in the middle of my college years because (personal preference!!) I think it is a waste of my time.
I’ve recently narrowed my career choices: pediatric related jobs (nutritionist or just nurse, etc.) or biomed engineering. The problem is that I have not done anything related to those things because I recently just discovered some sort of interest in it. Is it too late? If not, what can I do? Also, if anyone has college recommendations for me that would be really helpful!
Hey Boba! I suggest joining a variety of clubs until the end of the year (if you have not already done this freshman year) and stick to the ones you like.
In addition, you don't need to find a career you want already! You're 16! I know many college students who don't know what they want to do. So, just focus on finding the right major. You can watch day in the life videos on Youtube to explore which lifestyle suits you best. Then, you can browse through average dropout rates of majors and look through questions that would be given in college. If you don't have an interest in those questions (for example, you might not feel inclined towards math questions), then try to stay away from that major (GPA matters in college too!)
