What Should I Major In? A Loyola Chicago Conundrum
So, you're staring down the barrel of a college major, huh? Welcome to the wonderful world of indecision! It's like picking a flavor of ice cream when you're actually lactose intolerant – plenty of options, but none of them sound appealing. Let’s dive into this existential crisis together, Loyola style!
The Major Menace
Choosing a major is like picking a life partner. You want someone who's going to challenge you, inspire you, and hopefully, not break your heart (or your bank account). But unlike love, you can actually break up with a major without needing a lawyer.
Loyola, with its myriad of programs, is like a candy store for the indecisive. You've got everything from Philosophy to Finance, and everything in between. It’s enough to make your head spin faster than a Jesuit priest on a caffeine binge.
The Loyola Major Quiz Dilemma
Now, Loyola has this nifty little quiz called the "What Should I Major In?" quiz. It’s like a horoscope, but for your career. You answer some questions about your interests, skills, and career goals, and voila! You get a list of potential majors. But let's be real, how accurate can a quiz really be? It's probably just a fancy algorithm trying to sell you more Loyola merch.
Major or Minor? That is the Question
If you're still unsure, consider the age-old question: major or minor? Maybe a double major? Or a triple minor? The possibilities are endless, like the number of times you can change your mind before graduation. Just remember, more letters after your name doesn't necessarily equate to more job offers.
The Bottom Line
Ultimately, the best major for you is the one that excites you. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to not know. And it's definitely okay to panic. Just remember, even if you end up in a career completely unrelated to your major, you'll probably still learn how to write a really good essay.
