One important decision I made was to change my university major from accounting to marketing at the end of my first year¹. Initially, I chose accounting because it seemed practical and offered stable career prospects. However, after taking several introductory courses, I realised that I did not genuinely enjoy² working with detailed financial reports and complex calculations every day. At the same time³, I joined a student club where I helped promote campus events on social media. I found that I really enjoyed coming up with creative ideas, understanding what interested people, and seeing how a well-designed campaign could encourage students to take part. That experience made me realise that marketing suited both my personality and my strengths much better. To be honest, the decision was not easy. My parents were concerned because accounting is often regarded as a safer career path. I also worried that changing majors would mean leaving some friends behind and having to catch up on courses I had missed. I spent several weeks researching job opportunities, speaking to teachers, and making a list of the advantages and disadvantages before I finally made up my mind⁴. I was very happy with the result because⁵ I became much more engaged in my studies. I enjoyed doing group projects, creating presentations, and analysing consumer behaviour. More importantly, I later got an internship at a small advertising agency, which gave me practical experience and increased my confidence. Looking back⁶, changing my major was a challenging decision, but it taught me that choosing a path that matches my interests can be more rewarding than simply following the safest option.
