I’m currently a junior in college and I’ve been stressing about what I should do for my major and career path.
Right now I’m pre-business and deciding between MIS and Supply Chain Management, but I keep seeing stuff about how bad the job market is, especially for business majors, and it’s making me second guess everything.
Because of that, I’ve been thinking about switching to Mechanical Engineering since it seems more stable and versatile. I feel like with an engineering degree I’d have more options and wouldn’t be as worried about struggling to find a job. I also like the idea that if I end up not liking engineering, I could still pivot into something else.
The thing is, I’m not the best at math. I got an 85 in precal, and I’m worried engineering might just be too difficult for me or that I’d burn out if I switch into it this late.
At the same time, I’m also worried that if I stick with MIS or Supply Chain, I might struggle to find a job or end up in something I don’t enjoy and regret not choosing something more stable.
Another thing is I feel like I might have undiagnosed ADHD because I struggle a lot with focus and consistency, so part of me feels like I should get that figured out before making a big decision like switching into engineering.
So yeah, I just feel stuck and don’t really know what the smartest move is right now.
What would you do if you were in my position? Is the job market actually that bad for MIS or Supply Chain? And is it worth switching to engineering this late, or should I just focus on getting experience and connections where I’m at?
I’d really appreciate any advice.
