Here's what you'll want to read this summer, instead of The Narrow Gate. It's about me working at Street Reach Ministries in Memphis, TN!

Majoring In Minors

Up until, my ideal plan on what to major/minor in during college has been to double major in music and psychology and minor in Spanish. But of course, as the school year has gone by, I've been doing a lot more research about the career path I want to take and what schools have to offer academically. I've learned a few things:
  1. Though I am very interested in psychology, it just doesn't seem to correlate with what I want to do with my life.
  2. Sociology is probably the major that would help me in the way I thought psychology would.
  3. I would love to major in youth ministry.
  4. It's going to be difficult to fit in music.
  5. The same deal with Spanish; and I was wanting to major in it because it is very useful for working with inner city kids and working with children globally. So it makes sense, but I might want to simply continue to study it and have it as a skill without majoring/minoring in it.
So, maybe I want to go with something more along the lines of double majoring in sociology and youth ministry (if the school I end up going to has that) and minoring in music? I'm not sure. I would appreciate prayers to help me figure out what the best path would be! That will also be an integral part of choosing a school, because, for example, if I decide I really need to major in youth ministry, that will drastically change what schools I can go to. Luckily I do not need to know right now, but I'm always trying to figure it out. Thanks!

*EDIT: The statement I made after the list things I've learned is a little too limiting. Basically, I'm looking at the following areas of study to major or minor in:
  • Urban Studies
  • Vocal Performance
  • Sociology
  • Social Policy
  • Religion
  • Music
  • Spanish
I'm pretty confident that my combination of majors and minors will consist of subjects from that list or similar, but more specific, subjects that whatever school I end up attending offers.
