Focusing The Lasers Response

After watching this video I do see some resemblances, like me, I kind of know which direction I want to go but all at the same time I’m not quite sure if I want to go there or not.  To be honest I am having thoughts about once again changing my major.  I never thought that being able to transfer to a 4-year was going to be so hard.  I am now on my second year and I’m not even close into transferring and I’m starting to think that once I’ll be able to transfer would be in 4 years. So now that I think about the video I am more likely a wanderer and explorer.  I’m just taking classes I think would be able to transfer and all that I am doing is like they said, “paying for the classes, buying the books”, that is all I think I am doing right now.  I fit in the wanderers and explorers both at the same time mostly because I know what I want to do as a full time career later in my career as a professional, but at the same time I am just walking around biting my nails and not taking the necessary classes needed for that major to transfer to a 4-year college. 

I feel like being a wanderer and an explorer isn’t all that great at all. I mean no one wants to take random classes and not know what major they want to become.  We all want to be set focused on one major and stick to it, but in our current educational system it is very much difficult to do so. Peoples’ passion varies among others and we all have that passion for that certain major, but it is hard to find it among all the clutter in your mind, about probably taking care of family, managing a job and school both at the same time.  It’s very difficult to keep your mind set and keep that burning passion for your major in your mind when you have all those thoughts in your mind. 

If I would be able to change categories I would most definitely try to become a laser.  They know what kind of career they want to go to and what kind of class they want to take.  I mean who doesn’t want to be in the laser category.  I bet mostly everyone that is in the other categories wants to go in the laser category, just to see how it is. Knowing which classes to take and what major they want to be in, without having to change it all the time.  Once in the laser category there is no doubt what you are going to become in the future with that major. 

I am hoping to change my category by not changing my major.  I was set on going onto electrical engineer until later on in the semester while talking to my councilor that all it is, is just playing around with some electrics and watts.  Then she asked me, “What kind of major do you have second in mind?” then I told her that I’m a hands-on type of person.  So then she suggested that I do mechanical engineering.  Then it struck me that that’s the type of major I want to take and be with as a full-time career.  Then we went through a lot of steps on what kind of classes I should be taking and all that stuff.  Then I got my mind straight.  I was set. Even though my grades from my pass classes wasn’t so good, I told myself that this coming semester was going to be different and I would be studying my butt off to get an “A” or a “B” no matter what.  So overall, I think that once this coming semester finishes and I did really good at it, then I know for sure that there is nothing stopping me from achieving my goal as a mechanical engineer.
