This morning, I’m riding the metro, and reading the express paper along with everyone else.

I come across the article called, Major Angst. But the article wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be about.

The basis of this article is about some kids who are in high school and feel bored with their education. They want more core classes because they already know what they want to be when they grow up.

I don’t know about you, but when I was 15, I had a couple of dreams. Although I still wasn’t sure. When I was 17, I was freaking out. I didn’t want to go to college, mainly because it’d mean I’d have to pick a major.

What do you mean I have to determine what I want to do for the rest of my life at 17 years old?! How am I supposed to know that?! The kids in the article, they know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. The 15 year old girl wants to be an engineer. and the 17 year old boy wants to design video games. Good for you! As for the rest of the kids, they might just want to be kids, and play sports after school, and join their friends at the mall or movies, or even go to youth or work part time.

Yeah, so Florida education might come up with a plan where students could “major” in humanities, English, communications, math, science, history, social studies, arts, foreign language, and vocational skills. Oh this is beginning to feel a lot like college. My theory, they just want to grow up a little too quickly.

Can you imagine picking a major when you’re just 14 years old. I know I can’t. I could barely pick a major when I went to college. I even ended up changing my field of study 3 years into my major. (Lucky for me, it didn’t affect my graduation date). Besides, don’t these kids know, you’ll probably change careers 7 times in your life time. So why not take this time at age 15 and 17, and just be a teenager for once? Drive your parents crazy.
