right now, I'm stuck between a few possible plans for my future
A) major in history, then get a master's and possibly a doctorate in history and become a historian or history professor.....the problem with that plan is that I'd have to hold off on getting married..., and id be poor and still in school for so long
b) get a major in economics, and then possibly get a master's and possibly a doctorate in economics....if I choose to just get an undergrad, I would get married right away without financial trouble, and I could get a job as a financial analyst or possibly entry level economist.......if I get a master's a job as a regular economist....if I get a doctorate, a job in academia.....problem with those last three are marriage.......and because id barely make enough money to survive for 5-10 years, as well as the possibility of working with riba....also, working in a regular job as a financial analyst or entry level consultant may be too stressful......but the good side is, I make a lot of money, and work in a field I love....
c)get an undergrad in history, and then get an online master's in library science and become a librarian....I like this plan, because I get to do a job that doesn't involve a lot of people skills (I have autism and social anxiety), and it's a predictable job, and rewarding......there are also opportunities for advancement, since I could become a library director.....only problems with this plan are, marriage, the fact that I would have to go online for two years to study since there are no nearby library science schools, except in a small town down south....and I fear the culture clash....so if I study online, I could get lonely.....I also am not sure what I want to be working in for the rest of my life......could someone give me guidance? PLEASE???? EDIT: I'm also considering going online for my undergraduate degree, in library science, which makes it even more complicated....
