So Ive been thinking allot lately about Switching my major...
Im about a year away from finishing my General ed and getting an AS in community college.
I originally wanted to go into Information technology, I got certified after High school and went into community college for more training because I couldn't get a job with my cert. After starting school I got really discouraged, I really don't think I can do well under the stress and competition of the IT industry and I realize as a women my career would not be the same as my husbands, who is in the field too. Im more likely to be put on tech support because if my voice, and as I plan to have children getting back into the industry after I take a few years off to raise them (maybe 5) It might prove to be more difficult then the degree is worth.
I like to fix computers, but my interest pretty much stops there. They don't offer a BS in IT, Only in programming, engineering or Business administration(with a focus on CIS) (Business does not interest me at all) I don't prefer to do more advanced math so the business degree is all I could really get on the Bachelors level.
Im thinking about switching to History or Art History, (Studying European history) but I don't know if I would be going into an even more hopeless or difficult industry. Any history majors have any warnings or advise, will I be able to find a job in the field with just a BA while I work on my Masters? I want a good idea of what the industry is like before I decide to switch officially
Im very very worried about this, I don't want to make a mistake ill regret of go into debt for a degree that wont help me.
I live in California to put this into perspective, and im 23
