college help: So is it worth it? - Help.com

Stop making the same post over and over again.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, it’s worth it.

Two years is nothing in the span of your lifetime—take the extra two years and complete the major you want. You will be well rewarded, financially and emotionally. And, no, employers will NOT care whether you took four years or six years to graduate.

Good luck.

Don’t worry about it, employers only look at grades and what you do, the more you have, the better it looks, thats the way i think of it

Decide on what you want to do- jobwise- first and perhaps get some experience to see if you like it. Then decide on which subject would best help you get there. I made the mistake of studying English and Sociology, brilliant for expanding my mind and great fun but I’ve been led from that point into a career i hate, so think carefully.

The best thing you can do from this point is get as much experience as you can in the field you want to work in. Get contacts and get knowledge of how the industry works. Also join clubs, they want to know you are a go-getter. But it is the experience that will show whether or not you are committed to going into the industry and dispell any concerns they may have about your having changed your mind.

Make sure you make use of your university’s career’s dept. to help you find these work experience placements and develop your CV while you are still at uni as it is so much harder once you’ve left. Bear in mind too that once you graduate you won’t find funding for another degree so if you are going to make this change it needs to be now.

It’s your decision, but if you think you want to go down that route and will work hard enough to get a decent grade then do it.

For the majority employers just look at the degree, unless you were top of the class. So, whatever makes you happy.
