I am a pre-vet college student that is interested in specializing in equine medicine.

Should I pursue the Marketing and Information Systems degree?
I've reached the point in my academic career wherein I must make a choice. I'm applying for transfer, and I have to choose my concentration for my major. I am very apprehensive and scared in making the choice. I am a business major and am presently taking some more business-oriented courses: Macroeconomics, Financial Accounting, Business Writing, etc. I've noticed through my time in college that my interests tend to fall into things that require me to be creative: Writing, music, speech, and so forth. These areas are also my stronger skills. I am less moved by numbers, though I am capable of making the calculations once I've been taught. I've maintained a 4.0 GPA the past three semesters, and am on the path to graduating with a transferable Associate degree in Business Administration and an Associate Degree in Communications. I'm looking at Cal State Fullerton; they have a program there that I find may be very lucrative and suitable for someone such as myself: Marketing and Information Systems. However, I am aware that pursuing Marketing may not be a safe and stable choice. If I major in Finance I'll be able to find my way into the Marketing Field than the other way around. During my academic pursuits, though, I want to enjoy what I am learning to enhance my engagement and efforts. I'm afraid if I go into Finances, the duration of studies will be full of material I don't find as engaging, which may in turn take a toll on my drive and passion. I know I can change concentrations at University, but I've been informed that it is really hard to do. I don't want to waste time, but I also don't want choose something I find more creative and interesting over a stable future. Some additional questions would be, is Marketing a stable career choice? Is it fruitful even for those who don't wound up working for incredibly successful businesses? Is it a feasible goal or are successes in the field rare? #college #business #marketing #career-choice #college-transfer #specialization
Should I major in general biology or a specific branch of biology?
I want to major in biology, but I am unsure of whether I should keep it general or choose something such as cell biology or human biology. Would general biology be a better choice in terms of finding a job in the sense that it can be applied to a vast variety of jobs as opposed to a specific field? Or would I have a better chance of securing a career with specialization in a certain area? #college #biology #career-path #major #security #specialization
