Double Majoring In English Rhetoric And Gender Study

Being in college has taught me that what you majored in does not matter when it comes to finding a career, as long as you have the experience you will be fine. I tend to question myself all the time as to “Why am I attending college when most employers probably would not care about my Bachelors or Associates Degree.” My doubtfulness of college brought me to come across the article “No, It Doesn't Matter What You Majored In”, by Carlo Rotella. Carlo Rotella is a director of the Americans Studies Program and the author of several books. The author believes that “Prospective employers frequently don’t really care what you majored in” Page 468.

Jon B. Gould did it again, chapter 2 of How to Succeed gave prime examples of how to keep college students from freaking out their first year. Gould goes over many key things in the chapter about choosing a major, to the foreign exchange program. Gould gives a lot of information to students that are nervous about not having a major, and helping them decide to choose what you want to major in, not what people tried to influence you to do. I can relate to that because, the high school I attended, Kaynor Tech, had many shops to choose from such as; carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. While I attended Kaynor, the shop I picked was computer aided drafting and design, which I thought would be focused on house design… I listened to my mother, and

I came into college knowing for a fact that I eventually wanted to do to law school. While searching online, I found that there is no required degree for a law school application so I decided to become a history major. History is by far the subject I enjoy the most. I always did well in it at school and I enjoyed learning about Alexander the Great, Rome, the American Independence and all the other subjects that just make history great.

A lot can be learned about rhetoric by looking at these two articles: “5 Charts That Show Sexism Is Still Alive and Well in Gaming” and “The Integrity of Women and Gender Studies”. One portrays the gaming community as sexist and underrepresenting women (Kleeman) while the other condemns modern feminism for treating women as victims and “vilifying” men (Frohlich). The first uses many logical arguments that are used to bring emotion to the reader, and make them feel like certain things are ethically wrong (Kleeman). The second uses a slightly different technique, since it is explicitly an opinion piece (Frohlich). It leads the author to be trusted by the reader, and then presents the author’s opinions that are backed by logical arguments (Frohlich). It also causes the reader to experience emotional and ethical feelings (Frohlich).

Everyone who decides to enroll in college must, at some point, think about what area they want to major in. There are many things that students consider when choosing a major. Some make their decision based on what they think can make them the most money once they begin their lives in the work force. However, many students believe that if you choose a major that interests you and challenges you then you can use those skills that can help you in any career. (R. Landrum & S. Davis, 2014) Let’s face it. Employers know that when they hire someone straight out of college they are not immediately going to know

My chosen major is Government. I have a deep love of history, politics and human behavior. I have an outstanding memory for facts which, to others, may seem unrelated but which in reality, open the door to understanding the situation. I am able to judge a situation with a cool head and an objective approach. I am loyal, responsible and dedicated to excellence.

I also figured out that no matter what anyone say, if you have a passion about something, you should pursue your goals. It was a rocky start but once I saw the end of the tunnel it made it even more rewarding when I walked across the stage to receive my degree! As I looked around at the crowd and saw everyone staring and cheering for my classmates and I, I said to myself that this is the greatest part of my life and I felt like for once, I achieved my goals. This successful part of my life brought strength and knowledge that no one could ever dictate and I was very proud of

My goals of entering the medical field came to a screeching halt, due to the fact of my overall GPA. As for my science GPA was below the required for the nursing program. When I understood that I didn't have the grades to be selected for the Nursing, and the Occupational Therapy programs. I forced myself to retake the science classes that I had previously taken years before. While I was taking new science classes and retake old ones, I’ve sacrificed my summer vacation and savings to pursue my potential career as a nurse and occupational therapist. I became mentally exhausted when I realized that I couldn’t do it any longer. I had a deep conversation with my mom, discussing all of my attempts to get into a nursing program. She reassured me that there are other careers in the medical field. I just have

According to St. Louis University, it’s not unusual for a freshman to not know what to major in. While some may believe that kids should know their majors before they get to school, maybe this isn’t the best tactic to take. Instead, it’s reasonable to think that a person’s education will influence his/ her decisions about what to major in.

I’m a freshman in college having recently made it through high school alive. Most people would know what major they are by now right? Well, the thing is, my major’s practically undecided at the moment. You think I’d know after four years of flopping about in highschool, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. Even though I’m taking a bunch of general courses, life has become way more stressful and the workload is ten times more than what I’m used to. My sleep schedule has turned into a complete trainwreck. I kept on wanting to fall asleep while they were going over the court case. Which is a shame, since the case was related to discrimination in a company I can’t seem to remember the name of. Regardless, it was much more relevant to my interests than I was expecting.

When I started college, I wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to become a pediatrician and I started with a biology major. I didn’t take all my general education classes in the beginning, instead I took a semester full of science. My idea was to graduate with a biology major and pick up a second one up along the way. I had my timeframe all planned out, but realized two years into my major that I did not have the burning desire to become a medical doctor. It was not the profession itself that interested me, it was the perception of it that caught (insert word for eye)

As an eighteen year old fresh out of high school, I made the mistake of trying to please everyone. I jumped into engineering thinking, "I'm smart, and I can make a lot of money." At the midterm mark, never had I ever felt so stupid. I received an A- in each Chemistry, Physics, and Introduction to Engineering, the three most difficult classes in the first year of this engineering program. So, why did I feel stupid? That's simple, and that doesn't take a degree in anything to evaluate. I had fallen into a realm in which I allowed exterior influences to take over and become a large factor in my decision to declare a major in mechanical engineering. I didn't know what I should switch to, I pondered the thought of changing my major to physical education, but I wasn't sure it was the right move. Praying daily for an answer, I felt as if I was put on hold, until one day, recently, in which I visited my high school. I entered the main office to say hello to previous teachers and peers, and I saw a bowl of bracelets. I thought to myself, "If it's free, it's for me!" I grabbed a bracelet and placed it in my jacket

Ever since you can remember, you have been attending school, either because your parents said so, it 's required by the government, or because you really want to further your education. When senior year approaches your future is literally in your hands. You are trying to decide which route to take. Should you take the route that most kids take after graduation; college, or should you chose your own path. You began to consider the cost, the effectiveness, and other problems associated with college which makes you start to reconsider if college is actually worth it. You have to decide whether to go to college, an alternative institute, or to get a job. Your dreams are big and you know the chances of achieving them are less if you do not receive a college degree. After all, a college degree is a life necessity, depending on what your dreams are.

If its starts to be a bother right away college may not be for you. Or maybe change your subject anything that you're gonna love. Challenges are gonna occur but honestly we are not learning if we don't try to get through those challenges , and never give up on the the things we enjoy.

For a long time, I had little to no idea what I was going to major in. Sure, there had been “maybes” like veterinary science, history, and most recently, law, but none of them seemed completely appealing to me; I was intelligent in these classes but they were not anything I was particularly fond of. So I sat down and put on my thinking cap and sifted through what I am best at. Then, like ray of light, the truth became known – I am really good at talking.
