I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had.　　Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years.　　Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years.　　Changed　　Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told.　　Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major.　　Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!

I’ll never forget the time ______ I spent with my grandparents in the countryside when I was five years old.
