What happens if you don’t like your degree?
If you’ve ended up choosing a degree which doesn’t really suit you, there’s a risk that you’ll end up dropping out, underperforming, or simply unhappy. Remember it’s okay to change directions and move to another course. This isn’t a failure – but continuing to study a subject you are not interested in certainly is.
What happens if you are not satisfied with what you study?
If you are not satisfied with what you are studying, it will reflect in all the other aspects of your life. You won’t be happy generally, and it will take very little to upset you. Your moods will change randomly and you won’t be much fun to be around with.
Is it a failure to study a subject you’re not interested in?
This isn’t a failure – but continuing to study a subject you are not interested in certainly is. That will lead to nothing except frustration and wasted time. Not sure if you’ve chosen the right subject?
Should you choose to study something you are passionate about?
Choosing to study something you are passionate about might not be as beneficial as you think. When you study at university essentially you are making an investment: one worth up to (and sometimes over) £30,000. That’s a lot of money.
