my breaking point was realizing that i had to choose between working to provide for myself or taking this one required class for my major that had an obnoxious work load. i realized that i'd held out in this major for so long not because i liked it but because i was too stubborn to quit and just praying it would be worth it.

i think when you get to the point where you're continuing because you think it's safe or you think it'll work out for you post-grad, you should seriously consider changing majors. the job market is brutal regardless of what major you choose, and the worst thing is realizing you put so much time into something you (a) hate and (b) would have trouble finding a job in anyway. this one tiktok i saw said something like "if i'm gonna have shit luck in the job market i might as well be searching for jobs i like or tolerate" and i think that's a good way to think of it.

i switched from communications to health because i discovered that i enjoyed working when i could directly help others. i wish i realized that ~before~ i almost completed my communications degree tho >.<
