With jobs disappearing in front of our eyes and technology constantly changing at a rapid pace, you must ask yourself: Am I going to have a job in my field when I get out of college? Is my field even going to exist in two years? Now I told this to my friend and he said "Jimmy stop picking on the music industry majors" but my friend had it wrong.
With our current economy in a slide, few career paths will lead to a guaranteed job out of college. And since your paying so much for college, you should closely follow the job market in your major. Now most of this advice given to me by a professor, so I thought I’d pass it on. But there is hope. As my drunk uncle used to whisper into my ear: "Where there's a will, theres a way." If you
know you are good enough to succeed in your major, you should have no doubts despite rocky times. If you are truly devoted to something, the chances of failure are very slim.
Eh, since this post was lame and preachy I’m gonna end it with a even more vomit-enducing short story:
“Once upon a time, A college boy named Jimmy chose a major in mass communication. His dream since toddler-on was to become an Oscar award winning documentarist. He graduated college and started his career but he developed a violent addiction to Nyquil and was sidetracked for five years. After a lengthy and painful rehab, Jimmy discovered that the field of documentary had been illegalized. After Sarah Palin’s historical presidential victory in 2012, She banished documentaries to assure that Michael Moore could never make another movie. In a act of desperation, Jimmy set sail to sea in a old one-man sailboat passed on to him by his great grandfather. He died six days later in a violent orca whale attack. "
