4. Say
I know this is a good major
I just have to finish
I don’t know if I can put in the 40+ hours a week to make it
This is a solid career
I’ve thought about wellness but where would that go?
I don’t look like a personal trainer, so no one would take me seriously.
I can live with accounting
Maybe once I get started, I can get to a different department
Health is just a hobby, but I love it

Current major=stability
