I can't imagine doing something I don't like with excitement! somebody help!!!?

Question

I'm just a girl getting ready for university but I can't imagine working so hard on something I don't like!!!
What I mean is, I want to become a nutritionist but I don't want to go go through all the boring learning part! Science, chemistry, biology and all that!!! what do I do?

I just like helping people with their health and a good way to do that is to become a nutritionist or doctor but how do I get myself excited so I'll be able to study with passion???
I don't like learning crazy boring details! Somebody correct my way of thinking!!!!

Like when somebody wants to create a movie, for example, they have to do all those boring and hard things in the process but really all they want is the final project and fame and all that !! so how do they get involved with all the details with excitement when it's not exciting at all....?????

Answer 1

I think you're being overly pessimistic. You may find that you actually enjoy some of the things you're learning. For example, when I was taking biochemistry, we learned that a specific kind of tree produces a chemical that disrupts ATP synthesis. Native Americans would beat the tree to release the chemical into a nearby river, which would allow them to catch the fish more easily. Cool, huh? This sort of neat fact pops up all over the place.
Also, in college you'll get the chance to work with other intelligent people who are strongly motivated, and that motivation can rub off on you.
Try to create a positive image of the future. It's a long process, yes, but it can be very enjoyable and ultimately rewarding.

Answer 2

well, there are a couple things here:
1. A lot of what you're going to do in life is not going to be very exciting, and yet you'll need to give it your full attention to avoid disaster. As someone above said "welcome to adulthood". Sad, but true.
2. In almost everything, the fun, exciting bits only come after you've done the hard, boring slogging to prepare.
3. How you feel now is very likely not going to be how you feel in a month, a year or a couple years; things that seem boring now may well seem more and more interesting as you learn more about them.
In any event, if you think the excitement is worth it, use the anticipation of the goal to keep you motivated to get through the boring bits. It's like a 20-mile hike in a way - thinking about how far you've got to go will depress you, but thinking about the party at the finish line, and just taking one step at a time will usually get you to the end OK.

Answer 3

I would say you need to find something else to do. Something that interests you on all levels. Even if you get through all the initial work, once you become a nutritionist, there is always more boring things (new and old) you'll have to learn about nutrition.

Answer 4

All those boring details are what make you qualified to do the jon you are after.
It's a necessary part of your success.
You just have to decide if you really want to accomplish becoming a nutritionist, then get through it.

Answer 5

Get over it. A lot of people don't like school. You may find that it interests you when you get involved in class discussions and projects. If you approach it with a bad attitude, you will make yourself miserable. Tell yourself that you love your major, and you just might find that you do.

Answer 6

Welcome to the wonderful world of adulthood. You are not going to like or use half the classes you take required for your major but you have to suck it up and go through with it. And remember no one can take an education away from you, knowledge is power.
