So me personally, I have a Bachelor's in English literature and linguistics as a major and communication and media science as a minor and I am on the verge of finishing my second in Spanish/French/Italian literature and linguistics and Oriental/Middle Eastern studies. I speak four languages on an academic level and two more on basic casual level... So I was pretty content with starting a job and later adding a Master's mess by age 26/27 and then maybe write a Doctor's mess when I am in my early 30's...
I am getting a cool job at a media company this summer and I was pretty proud and content, because I had no sponsor mess.
But obviously during Christmas and because of a recent class reunion I have been reevaluating my career and had to explain my degree a lot... "Oh so you study Spanish books? Oh umm cute"; hearing about how some of my class mates have Master's in Psychology, getting their PhD in Medicine and Surgery, Law, Computer Science...
And it made me think, dang did I spend the last four years studying something trivial and useless, am I not challenging myself properly? I want to do well for my family back in the motherland, but I also don't wanna sit behind no damn desk just so I can sound fancy in small talk, but then it is something you could wear with pride, having finished Law or Math or something...
Well idk, now I am contemplating doing something in the science field, when before I felt pretty blessed and content with my path...
