Students are constantly asked, ever since a young age, the question of “what do you want to be when you grow up”, and this is a question that happens to encompass life. The idea of deciding a major just happens to be the first stepping-stone into the “real world”. Diving head first into the world of majors can be a very terrifying place, but that’s why many explore different pathways, to discover one’s true calling, one’s niche. While I am unsure about my future endeavors, I would like to think I am not going in completely blind, since I have a few possible ideas of career pathways: Nutrition, Design (Interior and Graphic), and Journalism.

There was never a time where I was not drawing on the walls (literally) or using my younger sister as a canvas, painting her with different shapes and lines. Art seemed to come as a natural ability. Design falters under the realm of art and happens to be a broad area that filters with many different pathways, such as interior, graphic, web, etc. While interior and graphic design are polar opposites, content wise, however, they are both highly composed of design elements.

Sadly, due to the lustrous growth in technology the journalism/print media has been declining (bls.gov). Therefore, much of the median salaries in the prospects of journalism are significantly lower ($53,880-%60,000) than that of a nutritionist, Interior/graphic designer. Journalists are underpaid or at least paid suggestively less than other careers; therefore in order to branch from the norm and median salary, one would need connections and expierence.
To obtain a degree in the field of journalism many writing and English courses must be obtained, broadening one’s technique and forte. While journalism is a broad category one can obtain degrees in broadcasting, entertainment, photo, feature writing, etc. Due to the specifications that are driven of a journalism degree, math and science courses aren’t really suggested. Typically a degree in this field can range from four to six years, depending on ones
