Will You Choose a Course You Do not Like But Will Make You Earn Big Money?

I think it depends on the situation. We have to admit that there will be times were social inequalities force us to choose decisions that makes the most sense in terms of monetary gain. Choosing a course that promotes a stable career is certainly not an illogical move for a person who have less resources than the norm. Not everyone can be Picassos, or Lea Salongas. With that said, we have to understand that although what we take in college influences our future career path, it doesn't mean that it's only road that one could take. Let us remember that after college, there are a lot of choices open to the individual - hard work, diligence, and self-learning can balance things somewhat.

Hi bingskee, I agree with you, the courses that a person takes in college should lead them to a degree of their choosing, but it doesn't always have to be a degree that will help make them huge amounts of money. If a person enjoys art over becoming a physician, then the art is where your heart is and he/she will enjoy the course a lot better, than if he had to exam a cadaver. I heard a true story about a college student whose entire family which had be educated were physicians. So, of course he was expected to follow the same path, but when he took a course in art for his elective subject, he feel head over heels in love with art. He change his major, to the disappointment of his family, and he is now a world famous artist. He followed his passion, as we all should do. Even though he became wealthy, it doesn't mean that everyone who follows their passion and take courses that they enjoy will be come wealth, but they would have enjoyed the college experience better.

I work and major in criminal justice. I love the field but hate the lack of money and the lifestyle. I sometimes wish I would have taken something for money and lifestyle instead. Would I have been satisfies though?I doubt it.

i think you are a good parent.children can try their best to do what they like,even their major is not so papular, they can make a hit because of their interest.

Making a lot of money is not all we should consider in life. We have to do what makes us happy also. If we cannot take joy in what we choose to do, we will never be satisfied with ourselves. Doing somwething we do not like will just make us miserable over the years. It is better to be at peace with yourself than to have all the wealth in the world.

Letting them choose on which course they take is a great decision you have made. I think your right that Money is not the only reason of you pursuing a career. Being happy and contented is all that matter.

yeah, they paid me to leave.

Ya i agree.. i too have done this thing ...

No because I've done something similar in the past and guess what? I left the course half way through, lost a lot of money on tuition fees and was just generally miserable throughout the course. I don't recommend anyone does this as you're likely to quit or not do well because it's actually quite hard to force yourself to do something you don't like.

Surely, i'll not the choose the course which i don't like it. We want to study the course with our own interest, not for others pressure and for money. With our interest only we will study it passion and we will complete our course successfully.

who knows, those skills and talents might also make big money in someday, money is important, but the happiness of life is more precious.

First of all, I have to figure out why I do not like the course inorderto make sure that my refusual will not bring me regret. It all depends on my current goal.
