Why am I a Journalism Major?

 I'm a journalism major because I was told to be one.  My whole life teachers have told me that I'm a good writer.  Hearing this sentiment echoed by teachers throughout my life, convinced me to major in Journalism.  

My dad would tell me, "You're a good writer.  You should do Journalism."  

And I said, "Ok."

And it's true.  For the most part, I do enjoy writing.  But, if I weren't a Journalism major, I'd probably major in Exercise Science or Psychology.  Maybe even both, or major in one and minor in the other (some variation).

I guess it's natural to pursue something that you're good at.  While majoring in Journalism, I've learned a lot about the Journalism field and the state of journalism as a whole.  I've developed valuable skills that can translate to many different professions.  But sometimes I wish I majored in Psychology or Exercise Science.  

I'm not sure if my career choice in the future will have a heavy focus on Journalism, but the skills I've learned these past four years will definitely help me.  And they'll help me in probably any field I go into.  

I wonder if I made the right decision.  I think I'll always wonder.  Regardless, I'm anxious to see what the future holds.
