Change of Heart, Change of Mind?

Journal Entry: Fri Sep 19, 2008, 6:48 PM
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
~Albert Schweitzer

My mind and heart have recently been heavy with the doubts I've been having about my major, Pre-Vet School. Last semester I began to have my doubts towards it, so my advisor suggested that I stick with the program for this semester, and see how it goes from there. Week Five, and I'm really not all that happy. Not only is the 3 years of Chemistry one of the main things that makes me question my major, but the fact that I'm not sure if I want to be constantly stressed for so long, for something that I'm not 100% positive I wanna do.

I feel like the only thing I'm really confident about is writing and English. I'm average (at best) at Science. I mean, yeah, I made a 4.0 last year, and I was 2nd in my graduating class in high school--but that doesn't mean anything I feel. I've been really considering Photojournalism, because (obviously) I love photography, and I love writing. My university (WKU) is top three in the nation for Photojournalism, so I figured what could be better? Yet my dad isn't really supportive of it, because he feels like I won't make any money. But is money even all that important? I believe I'd rather be happy and penniless than rich and unhappy. I dunno, I'm really stressing out about it, and I just want to make the right decision. I don't want to live with regrets.

jazzylemonade :iconjazzylemonade: Is my weekly featured deviant, not only because she's such a sweetheart, but also I figured it's fitting that her journalistic style of capturing various music artists goes along with my hopes of a new major. I absolutely love her style, with her fun colors and textures and spontaneous portraits.

ah deary... choose life
i do think that its better to be a penniless and happy than ritch and super unhappy. to be an doctor without any higher purpose inside is raelly hopeless. money doesnt make a human happy- happiness makes hman happy, its simple :)
i'd rather chosen photojournalism than vet.
but its your life.
i had really familliar problem. my mom wanted me to choose doctory thing and i wanted to do photography. so here i am, after those long nights of considering and doubts.
and im happy :)

/im sorry for my english i bet ive made here like 1000000 mistakes lol/

If you are passionate about it choose
photojournalism. And I totally agree with
you about that money isn't the most important
thing. It's better to wake up everyday happy and
WANTING to do what you enjoy, then despising it with
something that you don't like.

your english is fine! :hug:

And thanks so much for telling me your thoughts and advice concerning this--I guess the thing that worries me the most is making the right decision...so I'm really hoping that by the end of this semester I'll have a clearer answer for myself.
