Default What type of career do you have?

O.k. here's the deal, I would like to get a little insight from you guys and girls.
I am currently going to university and taking nutrition. However, this does require me to take chemistry, which I have already flunked once and it's not looking good for this semester.

So I am on probation (from flunking) and thinking that it is in my best interest to drop my course, so I well not get kicked out of school.
Here is where you guys come in. Since I am having such a hard time completing chemistry I am also considering switching to a new major, although nothing really seems to jump out at me. So I would like to hear what you are doing for a career and how you enjoy it (if at all).
Also if there is any fellow students out there I would like to hear what you are studying!

Oh and please don't get me wrong I'm not really looking for someone to set me in the right direction. I have always wondered what people with the same interests as me have taken for career paths.

I am a computer dork for a law firm. I wouldnt suggest it, if your passion is nutrition.

have you found a tutor yet, I'm sure if you work on it hard enough you will be fine. Dont get your self down about it, just work harder.

Yeah, man, I wouldn't let one course determine your career path. By the same token if the program requires multiple levels of chemistry and you really don't have an aptitude for it that's something to think about. BUT from what I know general nutrition just requires a background in chemistry. The question you have to ask is not how hard you have to work to pass the courses. As hardgain said, you can overcome. But whether it will result in you're doing something you hate.

I started out in engineering just to show myself I could do it. But I HATE math. I suck at it and hate dealing with numbers. So logically, choosing a career that revolved around it was a little shortsighted!

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

major: health sciences, going to change to Physical Education
minor: considering Military Science

but yea man, I've had a hell of a time with certain things too and if nutrition is really want you want to persue, there are many ways you can get help in chemistry.
