What are your interests that are “impractical” and according to who or what? University is tough no matter what and it is a huge commitment of time and money, especially if you are just doing it to do it. Often times we hear from our parents, teachers, etc… to do the logical thing and go for the sure bet, where the jobs and money are, but then what happens after the degree? Burn out. University is not a necessity despite what you hear it is not something you have to suffer through, so if there is no enthusiasm or passion for that field of study what makes you think it will be there when you get out? Then what happens? Do you go in to the business field and find happiness? It is possible, but to think that just getting a degree equates to success and happiness is to go against all of the teachings I have ever learned about in every sense of the word. Certain things in life may come easier, like the house and the car, but do these things equal sustained happiness?

Was business the default choice for you? It doesn’t sound like you have any interest in that field and there are so many fields of study to go in especially one that has more of a connection to your interests. Have you made a plan as to what you will do with a business degree? If not make a plan, not that you have to stick with it, but it can make you see just how off base that is with who you are. Take a personality test like the Briggs-Meyers typology there is a free one on humanmetrics.com. Use what you get to find out what careers match your personality.

Don’t be afraid to change your major, it is a lot easier to change it now than to have to go back to school later for something else. Good luck hope I gave you something to work with.
