Soliciting Advice
Oct. 24th, 2006 05:06 amI'm trying to get some work done, but something is eating my brain, so I thought I'd get it out of my brain, into my LJ, so that I can get the reading I need to do done and maybe get a little more sleep (I've already gotten about 5 hours...).
The last week or so I've been seriously considering dropping my history degree. I've got a few reasons for this.
( Reasons to Not Get a History Degree )
On the other hand, there are reasons to earn the degree.
( Reasons to Get a History Degree )
I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff out. However, I feel like I've never really thought this through, and the more I'm considering it now, the more it seems to me that it might be in my best interest not to waste the time and money on earning this degree, not to mention the stress on myself that another year in school would exact. (Note how it's 5 am right now, and I'm supposedly awake to be reading history...). I need to decide this soon, because I have to register for classes next semester, and obviously this will make something of a difference.
Really, any advice anyone could give would be appreciated. Hopefully, typing this out will mean I can concentrate on my Foucoult (or however the heck you spell it...) reading...
