"Stop Asking Me About My Major"

Before reading this essay, I didn't know what to expect. I wanted to know what major the author was referring to and who kept asking his/her major. After reading this essay, I learned that changing majors occur most of the time in students likewise to Andrew and Jesse's experiences. They both had different interests, but both were aiming at the wrong direction. Choosing a major shouldn't rely on what you gain at work (money), it should be something you would enjoy doing. Eventually, only one came to their desire and the other remained miserable. Always follow your desires and interests because it would bring joy to your life. Another valuable lesson that I learned was to not let anyone that would bring you down on your goals, it wouldn't be so great even if it was your close family member. Lastly, I would like to know is that if it was possible to create your own major if you can't seem to find the "one". If so, how?
