College

Some students enter college with ideas about their future, and those ideas change. The students are exposed to subjects that they haven't learned about before, and these subjects help shape their future career choice. For me, in the first semester, I learned a lot of new things, but I still want to pursue agriculture as my career, because I continue to see the problems in the food system, and I still want to change them. Yahoo News posted an article about the most "useless" majors. This elitist attitude completely ignores the fact that people need to eat, and food will only be provided through agriculture. When I mention my continued interest in agriculture to family or friends, I find it to be dismissed, often due to the fact that I'm "only" a first-year student in college, and that my interests will potentially change. Whenever someone implies this, I see the true insinuation. They're trying to subtly express disapproval of my career goal. Honestly, it doesn't matter. It's my career goal.
