I wasn't sure whether to ask for advice on here, as I think I already know what most people's replies would be.
Alas, I decided to post anyway.
Growing up, I was always fascinated with science. Being a scientist was all I ever wanted to be. (other than a major league baseball player) As the years passed, my love for science (specifically astronomy) grew and grew.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of my control, my high school years didn't go as planned and instead of heading straight to a prominent university, I ended up in junior college. After a year of jerking around and getting nowhere, I got my act together and finally started on the road to becoming a successful scholar.
However, the science route was not the route I decided to pursue. I became extremely interested in politics, and declared my major to be political science. I have completed most of my general ed and major prep work in political science, and am just about ready to transfer from my JC to a 4 year school.(UCLA, most likely)
The problem is that as I stand on this, one of the major crossroads of my life, I cannot help but think that, while I absolutely love political science, it is
not my calling in life. I feel as if science. No matter how much I try and tell myself that I will be fine doing political science, I just can't escape from the firm grasp that the world of science has on me.
"Then Why don't you just go with your heart and go the science route?"
Well, unfortunately, if I switched majors at this point, it would tack on an extra 2 or 3 years of junior college work. And at this point, I frankly don't know if I could do that anymore. I just want to be at a major university already. I feel as if it is way past due.
Anyway, I just don't know what to do. This dilemma has been gnawing at my heart and soul for the past couple of months. I feel so lost.
