Hey guys, I need your honest, brutal advice here.
I'm interested in the field of law enforcement, HR, counseling, and IT--IT was originally the only thing that I was pursuing. I was chasing a CIT degree (Computer Information Technology), and I began to realize--the more I went on--that IT may not actually be the right field for me.
I'm not really interested in programming, so I would be working in system administration or something similar if I did go with into it.
I want to keep myself open to all of those career paths mentioned, as well as to any others that I may find interest in. I know that counseling usually requires a Master's degree.
I'm thinking of doing Communications with a minor in Psychology. I was thinking that if I wanted to continue into IT, I would be able to use certifications/my portfolio of experience to sell myself. I also thought that having an education in communications/psychology would help set me apart in the sense that I could make a good project management leader or spokesperson/customer service person for the company's IT department.
In pursuing an education in Communications and Psychology, I also thought that I would be keeping myself more open to careers in law enforcement, HR, and counseling when compared to CIT. My friend and I had a bit of discussion about this, though, and he thinks that even if I pursued a degree in CIT, I would be just as better off getting into those career fields when considering the stigma Communications and Psychology can carry and the power of a STEM degree.
At the end of the day, I just want to be able to find the career that will make me happy the most and not be limited. I think that getting a CIT degree would only make me marketable in the IT field but a Communications degree w/ minor in Psychology would make me marketable in all of those fields.
Am I thinking about this right? What does everyone else think?
