I didn’t take college seriously – at all. I graduated High School with a 4.3 (weighted) GPA, had really good test scores, blah blah blah.. Then I went to college and discovered “Partying”. I always wanted to go to med school, but really you got to have good grades and be dedicated to do that. Well, I smoked to much pot and slacked off and ended up with a 2.9. My hobby was always computers, I was a semi-good coder, I could take them a part and put them together, so I ended up just deciding to go with the slack ass MIS degree (it was slack for me anyways).
I got a job as a software developer about half way through school and I’ve been here ever since. I can’t say I’m miserable or anything, I just can’t say I can see my self sitting in front of a monitor day in and day out every day for the rest of my life. I guess because I got a degree from a business school I can probably do something else, but I just don’t know what I want to do right now so I’m going to stay put.
Ask yourself “what do you like to do?” and “what do I see myself doing in 5 years”? You might also go down to your schools career center and take one of the tests they have that can give you suggestions.
