When choosing your major, think about the kind of job you want, but think about the person you are. If you are someone who doesn't want to get up before noon, for example, you might not want to choose a major where the job possibilities require you to work early in the morning.…
During the college years of a person’s life, some of the biggest and life changing decisions are made. The decision of choosing a college, picking a major, and then the pursuit of a career affect the rest of an individual’s life. College students often receive a great deal of advice, from many different people, concerning their career. There are many people that give the advice, “Do what you love,” while, in contrast, other people will give the advice, “Do what makes money.” These two pieces of advice are very conflicting and it brings up the argument - should you do what you love or what makes the money? For both sides of the argument, there is support and reasoning that is very valid and persuasive. By looking at the argument subjectively, it is difficult to choose a side; each argument has its pros and cons. I believe that there should be a balance of both. Everyone has passions and if an individual has the opportunity to turn his…
What is happiness? That is not a question that may be easily answered. Due to the fact that every human-being possesses their own views on life, it is possible that there are innumerable interpretations of what is ultimately this idea seen as happiness. For the purpose of interpreting the idea of happiness as opposed to “being happy” I believe that it is necessary that there be a more continual and perpetual meaning is attached to happiness. I do not believe that actual happiness is a fleeting experience, but instead, a lasting state in which someone finds themselves. When looking to a dictionary or other source of reference to determine an official and concrete meaning behind happiness, the Miriam-Webster…

What is happiness? Marketing and media have brainwashed people’s brain into believing that happiness means to own possessions such as cars, big houses, or brand new devices among others. Unfortunately, this overstated fable is far from real. In fact, most people misunderstand that happiness is a choice that lies inside them. Weather to be happy or not, is up to any individual to choose as they please. Namely, true happiness is no more than a positive attitude, a good healthy habit, and life meaning.…
The first factor in choosing a major is the person’s interests. Most students when choosing a college major, base their decision on their personal interests because it is what goes with them. For example, a student could think they want to be an accountant, but cannot wait for their college algebra class to be over with so they can head straight to their art class next. It is very hard to work at job someone does not like, so it is best to find something that goes with the student’s interests. Most likely they will not enjoy their major because it does not go under their interests. It does not make sense for somebody to start working in something they do not like after they graduate. Interests help many students make their choice a lot easier because it helps them find a career that they will actually enjoy after college.…

All people go throw many stages from childhood to the end of their life. They build their dreams to become something worth in their lives such as a teacher, doctor or anything else. The most important part of these dreams to become reality is to choose the right major. Many people said students should decide what they want to be before they start studying in university. I disagree with them because students at university get help from their friends or teachers to choose their career. In addition to that, many students are changing their decision of major when they start studying at the university.…
We all want to know how to be happy, don’t we? People are always trying to find something that would make them happy. Given the fact that no two people are alike, pursuits of happiness are very different from each other because each person perceives happiness in his or her own way. Certainly, everyone has something that makes him or her happy. Personally, there are three main things that make me happy at this point: family, love, and true friends.…

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions.…
When some people graduated from high school, they choose specific subject field in the university to study. One reason to this is because it gives them the opportunity to establish more understanding and knowledge to what they are interested in for their future career. For example, a graduate law student would most likely want to enter a law related job instead of forestry. People establish skills from what they learned. People also become more active if they are able to work on a task that they are interested on. According to John Holland’s personality-job fit theory, job satisfaction is based on a person’s interest. Their interests came from different types of personality they have. People will ultimately be successfully if they choose a job that best suits their talents and abilities. Therefore, being successful will lead them to a higher-paying job that gives them pleasure.…
Man is an animal. Both his instincts and his needs of survival direct that he should do something in his lifetime. It is what he does that matters. Does he take up one thing because he appreciates it or just because he wants the material things that it will bring to him? Too often we do something just because it seems profitable or beneficial, or, even worse, just because it is forced upon us. As a result, we may become millionaires or billionaires, pop stars or distinguished statesmen, but we don't have happiness. Each person is endowed with some traits and inclinations in his character. In combination with environmental influences these traits and inclinations will shape his interests or preferences. If he is allowed to develop his body and mind in a natural way, to live as his interests best guide him, he will be immune from contradictions within his natural self and, therefore, feel free and joyful about life. If, however, he has to undertake employment which he actually has no mind for, he will feel bored and unhappy¾a revenge of his nature. And if the process lasts long enough, a frustrated or resentful being will most probably be the result.…
