It is relieving in a way, seeing the end of the registration period and getting the printout of my tuition paid. I am now a full-time college student (again), although I am still working at a sandwich shop. Believe me, working there rings pretty low on the self-esteem-while-on-the-job scale, but the owners have been very nice to me and I would rather help them than a bunch of strangers. Still, a sandwich shop... the hours are not as long as they used to be, thanks to the recession and everyone clenching tight to their wallets and not buying much of anything at all. Before I started taking the unpaid vacation (that is what I have been doing since the 19th of December), I saw the money in the tip jar and the customers both dwindle. Yeah, that kind of blew.
I have mentioned from earlier post (I think) that I planned to change my major. I have not, yet, as the career advisor recommended against it. For a while, I had set my mind on changing to CIS--computer information system. It looked like a major with good enough field that could weather the recession (somewhat). She recommended computer science instead, as I was not sociable enough for business field (or so the assessments say). Is it true, is that right? I would denounce that and just fill out the form for changing college to a business one.
Except, of course, I don't.
I have too much doubt in my mind.
I know the truth as well--I am not a sociable person, or I would not have ended up like this.
So here are what I have done, as far as registering classes go:
*Introductory computer science class (3 credits)
*Introductory accounting 1 (3 credits) (needed for core and both CS and CIS)
*Legal environment of business (3 credits) (will determine if I will be able to handle CIS)
*Managing IT projects (3 credits) (ditto)
I still think that not enough thought has gone into the process of choosing these classes. What am I to do? Oh, there is one thing I need to do... research over the weekend and change courses as soon as the sun rises.
Oh boy.
