Answer 1

There will always be classes you don't care for, no matter what your major. But at the same time, you should feel at least some kind of passion for your field of study. If it is just one or two classes you don't care for, just do the best you can to get through them. But if you find yourself being bored with most of the classes you need to take for your major, I would recommending evaluating your major. I would recommend taking some career assessments to match up your interests with the right jobs for you. I will tell you this: try to avoid having too general of a major. I majored in English, and twenty years ago it was fairly easy to get a job with such a general major. But companies now are requiring candidates to have certifications of licenses in their field. Do you have a career counselor at your college you can talk to? You might want to work through the book "What Color is Your Parachute" by Richard Bolles. It has really helped a lot of people get some focus on their career goals. I hope this helps.

I hear you. There will always be aspects of any job out there that you won't like. But on a whole, it has to be gratifying for you. I think nowadays a business degree is a great place to start, marketing, human resources, management, and information services are good major/minors to combine with it. Business degrees are sought out more than any other degree (I've been recently job searching and have noticed that a bachelor in business or masters in business really accounts for 90% of the job market). Seriously, you are on the right track. Besides, I know the universities and employers won't want you to know this, they don't care what you really got the degree based on, they just care you got the piece of paper to back it up. Keep with it, you are doing fine. And, no, we don't all "love" the classes we're in...it's just a means to get us to the next level, which is making some money! Good luck.

Dude you need some focus and a few more English classes that explain punctuation.

All classes in your major will not be interesting.
Decide what you want, then work backwards.
Do you want to be a CEO?
Do you want to work in business?
How much do you want to earn?
How do you want to spend your days?
Now, work backwards. You will have a class you don't like. Just get over it. Not a big deal for you to worry about at this point.
Seriously, look at your writing however. You won't survive in the real world if thats the best you have.
