Im nervous about chemistry major?

I am a first year student and i've taking chemistry and nearly failed, i guess its because i didnt put enough effort into learning the concepts. My freakin school had a strike and my exams went badly.

i was thinkning about changing majors completely. Not sure if i should go into business ( i have no experience in it at all).



i like the nature of a job of chemistry background. I am a person who like to work with things and prefers not to see faces all day. I'd rather analyze things.

I get nervous about labs, especially if i had to do them alone. How do u become better at this stuff?Im nervous about chemistry major?
First of all, retake the chemistry class. It is a core class for your major and you really need to understand this information. Get a tutor, study group, whatever you need to ace this class.



Labs can be terribly nerve-wracking. All those chemicals and equipment that you have to be super careful with. What helped me become comfortable in a lab setting was having friends in the same lab as me. If you don't know anyone in the lab, make new friends. And don't be afraid to ask questions. If your lab supervisor is not helpful, find one that is.



There should be an introductory lab course in your school. Those classes are usually simple experiments that are more about familiarizing you with the equipment and terminology than about you performing the experiment. You may even have partners in this class, which makes things a lot easier.



When you start working a real research lab, look for a mentor that is very helpful. Ask upperclassmen who they have worked with and what their experience was like. Make sure your mentor understands that you don't have any experience or else they might give you a complicated protocol to follow.



Above all, be safe. If you are unsure of what you're doing, ask someone (and write down what they said so you don't keep asking the same question).



Good luck!

How many times have you changed your major in college?..any advice?

Man, right now I have finished my first year of college, and its really a pain not knowing what I want to do yet. I really don't have the resources to just change my major every time I want to. Thats why I'm attending community college. I gotta choose something I really want to do and stick with it! ...any advice?How many times have you changed your major in college?..any advice?
Hey there i saw this on the contacts thing, i thought id answer this since i know a bit about it.



Ive never really changed my major in university as I kinda still like the major im doing. I go to a university in Australia, so the system might be a little different. Anyways on choosing majors you should consider:



* What subjects you're actually good at- dont listen to ppl who tell u that u should do a certain major, they're not the ones who have to study for it



* The employment prospects for the particular major. You can do this by researching through the internet, looking at careers sites, recruitment firms sites, job ads online and talking to your career counsellor



*Your financial situation and whether you can afford the fees for the particular subjects. Also consider the study loads for the major.



* Lastly, this is obvious but try to choose a major you're passionate about. This definitely helps and gives you motivation during hard times like studying for tests and exams



Good luck:)How many times have you changed your major in college?..any advice?
I ran out of characters in the end there..woops

Im doing a business degree- my major is Human Resource Management...what type of course are you doing and what are the possible majors?

At a community college I doubt you'll be doing much of anything.
You can just chose Liberal Arts if they are making you choose, I changed my major several times. I ended up just getting a BS in Liberal Arts because I had so many units in so many different fields. You don't have to know yet, but if the school wants you to choose based on a class you liked or something general so when you transfer you have a diverse background.
I've changed my major twice and it's not easy. Be sure to know what you want to major in by the middle of your sophomore year or else it going to take longer to graduate, especially if the majors are completely different.
Yeah, you definitely want to have a major picked before you start taking junior and senior level classes. These classes are specific to your major, so if you change majors, you will ';lose'; all those hours. I ended up changing my major several times, started out as an accounting major, so took several business classes. Then changed to math education (big mistake, too much math), then changed to educational psychology. Then I dropped out of college for a while to get back on my feet. I transferred to a new college, and they did not have an educational psychology degree, so I went with plain and simple psychology, but the business courses I had completed counted towards a minor in business administration (yeah).



As for picking a major, you may want to go to your college's career counseling office and talk to them about all the possibilities available to you. In the meantime, start thinking about what makes you happy, what interests you, and what you think you would like to do all day long for the next 40 years.

I need major help! College Majors?

I am in the spring semester of my sophomore year and I have changed majors like 100 times! I can not decide on what I want to get a degree in. I tried to settle with Business...but really i dont understand that stuff and I could actually careless about it. I tried to do math but I learned math is just something I can do...i do not understand it at all! I tried to do teaching, but I have a heard time dealing with other peoples kids who have not been desciplined correctly. i have tried science, but I dont understand that either. So I really need help. I realize I have been negative all throught this so now I am going to tell you what I do like, and Maybe you could help!



I love kids, that I am able to desipline.

I love photography

I love fixing hair and doing make up(not cutting)

I love people

I love telling people how to run their lives

I love helping out people who are struggling in life and need help in situations

I love exercising

I love talking

I want a big family!

TYI need major help! College Majors?
Have you considered being a personal trainer? That's a good blend of exercising and getting to tell people what to do. Unfortunately, I suspect that you would need some science to major in sports medicine or whatever related field would work best for that - but if you are going to rule everything out as too hard and not worth working to understand, college may not be the right place for you.

How do i write a letter stating i'd like to change my major in college?

Well, I dunno ... every college is different. For my college we just go to the admission office and they have the paper out for you to fill out. You need signature from the department that you want to change major to and then turn it in the admission office. You can always ask the Department or your advisor. Good Luck.How do i write a letter stating i'd like to change my major in college?
are you writing a letter to let your school know you're changing your major? if so, all you need to do is fill out a change of major form. you can usually find these forms in the admissions office, I think.

Disapointment and change of major?

I tried very hard to maintain myself in junior college as a science major. I spent five years at JC, two years of which was to fulfill highschool level class since I took the GED after 9th grade. Finally I transfered to a university and now after only a year I am being dismissed for not meating minimum unit requirements. Now I am in a serious relationship, and also have to worry about my parents finacial situation therefor I've decided to apply to a state university and persue an accountancy degree. As much of a heartbreak as this is I know I'm doing the right thing. I just worry about the disapointment of parents and my mentor who worked so hard to get me here. I don't really know much about accountancy. Can anyone tell me what I should expect as far as the level of difficulty and how the job market is for someone with only a bachelors degree? What income should I expect? Eventually I'd like a cpa, but now I just want to finish school and work.Disapointment and change of major?
Oh my - you've come way too far to not finish out school. I've worked with many students in your same situation -- You need to decide if Accounting is what you want to do. It is a LOT of hard work and if you are so-so about it, then don't pursue it. Why not transfer into something more generic, like a BS degree in business. Then, if you fair well doing that, try to go for the accounting stuff. Without the degree, in accounting, you'll wind up being a payroll clerk or similiar. If you are looking towards a CPA, you need to get a bachelor's degree. Id meet with a good academic advisor at your insitution and tell them your dilemma and see what they can suggest. There might be options out there that you aren't pursuing or thinking of. Good luck.Disapointment and change of major?
Be Patience! It檚 difficult to find one檚 positions in this world. Accounting is a good major. It is a very rigorous and structure curriculum. I know a few accountants and I don檛 know any that gets paid less than 40 thousand dollars. You will have to take an exam if you want to be a public one. It檚 a hell of a lot of workut then again so is science.
you can still pursue a science major in a state university. I am a biological engineer and when i graduate i will have a bachelor's of science. Those degrees are still there, don't give up.
