What do I want to be when I grow up?

This question was fun to answer when I was in 3rd and still thought that being a princess was an option.  Now that I'm a Junior in college its just a huge pain in the ass.  I can't tell you how stressed I am about the future.


I entered college with a plan.  I was going to get into the business school and become an accounting major with a minor in psychology...no questions asked.  All throughout high school I was told that I was good at math and that this would be the perfect career path for me, so of course I listened.  Well I went through my first 3 semesters of school and was finally allowed to take my first accounting class.  And to make things short, it was not my thing AT ALL; I made my first C ever in this class and was definately not feeling accounting anymore!!! WORST CLASS OF MY LIFE!!!  I was so disappointed but I thought o well, I will find another major in the business school....WRONG.  See in order to do that I would have had to actually gotten into the business school, and, since I got a C in accounting, I was .23 points away from the minimum acceptance GPA.


Plan B-  I will be a psychology major with no minor.  This all sounded fine and dandy because I loved psychology, but my family informed me that it wasn't going to do me any good just earn a degree in psychology.  I needed to either add a second major or a minor.  Only problem was that I wasn't interested in anything else...so now what??  Well my dad suggested that I try advertising, so, again, I thought sure why not.


I took my first advertising course in the spring of my sophomore year and I loved it!  I thought my problems were over...I was going to be a psychology major with an advertising minor.


Next I was thinking about graduate school for psychology, because I can't do much with just an undergraduate degree .  So I started doing research with my professor to get ahead.  Well she then informs me that graduate school is a minimum of 5 to 6 more years of schooling.....WHAT!?!?!  I can't go to school for that much longer, its just not going to happen for me!  


So as of right now I am thinking about graduate school for advertising.  But who knows how long I will stick with this plan.  Right now it seems like a good idea :/
