Career Choice #2- Ugh!!


So, last Thursday I was sitting in my first class, accounting. I was handing in a test thinking that I failed the thing and do not know one single thing we are talking about. That is when I basically decided that I hate what I’m doing. I almost feel like I don’t want to go into financial services anymore. Maybe it’s just because I feel lost in the class? I don’t really know. I feel so discouraged. I thought I finally had caught up to the things we are talking about until I took that test, which was supposed to be an easy one. I try and study as much as I can but I still feel behind. I just don’t know what direction to turn. Do I keep going with financial services, or try and figure something else out? I feel like that would almost be a waste of money though. Then again, I am going for financial services, not accounting specifically, so maybe I can just get through this class and the other accounting class and never have to worry about it again. I currently work at a real estate office as a secretary. I like it, but I don’t think I can do it for the rest of my life. The pay is good, but not good enough to live completely on my own. I also just got offered a job as a bank teller, but my school schedule wouldn’t allow me to take it. This is unfortunate because it had benefits. I don’t know, maybe I’m just stressed and discouraged and need to start the week over with an open mind.

  1. Kristi! Don't be so hard on yourself! It sounds like you're doing everything right, you just have to push through this accounting class and hope for the best! Maybe it's not just the class, but the teaching style of your professor? I know how it feels to be confident in your work until that one test comes around that makes you think "Wow, what am I doing??" In my opinion, I would advise you to stay in your program, until you know for sure that you do not want to pursue that field anymore. It may not be a waste of money though! Some of the classes you're taking now could go towards another major! I hate to hear that you can't take the bank teller job because of your school schedule. I know how rewarding those jobs can be! And what a good experience to have before you make life-long career decisions. All I have to say is stay positive girl! :)
