  "text": "So I'm studying psychology and I had to re-do my first year of bachelor because I only passed one exam last year (because of circumstances but I'm i'm in an easier uni now and those circumstances aren't there this time). But I don't enjoy it as much as I did before, maybe because it's the same subjects and I do tend to get bored easily and this degree requires 5 years for a master cause a bachelor is useless where I live so it's very long. So ive had thoughts of changing my major, but if I change again that means I'll be doing my first year of bachelor again for the third time (a new start with the new major). I feel like I'm just wasting my young years and not getting even one diploma that I could use as a backup to start a work life. Anyone who has experience with changing majors multiple times? ",

      "text": "Take a step back and reevaluate yourself... Figure out what you see yourself doing. Don\u2019t pick a major out of thin air. If you can\u2019t figure out what you want to do, write down some things you love to do, your strengths, and your weaknesses. If money didn\u2019t exist, what career would you want? That\u2019s how I figured out what I wanted to do. Before that, I switched my major 4 times! \n\nIf all else fails, your advisors should be able to combine all of your classes into a degree called something like \u201cGeneral Studies\u201d or \u201cUniversity Studies.\u201d ",

          "text": "I always viewed psychology as a major that wouldn't earn me money because everyone I know who did it still doesn't have a job, I started it actually to just gain general human knowledge, not to become one, so it was never for money but these days I'm really starting to like money, I actually wanted to do a major which would earn me good money. But that is a different approach to it, I'll try rethinking myself and try to write everything. Thank you!\n\nAnd I didn't know something like General Studies existed , that is quite a nice thing to do from universities.",
