On the first day of COM1110, Professor Piro had us all state our majors. I noticed at once that a large majority of the students who were in the class were healthcare majors, physical therapy majors, dental hygiene majors, and so on. I was the only person to say "I'm a history major." This was not entirely shocking to me. Rhodes is not exactly overflowing with history majors, at least not that I have seen. Since I began college last summer, I have been in two history programs and an IT program. As much as I love the subject of history, I'm going to be pursuing my ASL certification next semester. To get an actual history degree is time-consuming and I feel I am still adjusting to the college environment, so for the time being, I want to get credits in all sorts of various things, as well as pick up the occasional certification if it is feasible or practical. I was going for an Associate's degree in network security in my second semester while I was in Mississippi last year but that fell through when I realized that I don't like computers near enough to make it a career, or even stay in the degree program. This was after I started in the History Education program at the University of Southern Mississippi. Circumstances had me move from coastal Mississippi to Lima.
I like history but it is slowly becoming apparent that I may not want to pursue it for my career path.
