"major" dilemma
So I switched my major again today to graphic design/fine arts.
I have a semi moral problem with it though. Even though I’m CRAZY about graphic design and art, I feel kinda like I need to be doing something that gives back more to the world. I keep telling myself art is important, it’s how humans grow and express, and that that’s important to society as a whole.
But the nun in me tells me to become a social worker, or a phsyciatrist, or a deacon, or something that helps someone more then looking at a piece of art.
I have to hold true:
“Don’t try to be a great (wo)man, just be a (wo)man”

Get a Christian Children's Fund kid. I have one... and I don't feel bad about majoring in marketing at all. Plus, he's adorable and his family writes me letters all of the time. What is cooler than that?

Charissa is right. There are plenty of opportunities in life to help people. Your future job or vocation is only a partial aspect of who you are to become. There are overarching principles that will guide you no matter where you are or what you are doing. Even in your art, the nun has opportunities for expression and service. Listen to the call of your Creator and what He desires you to do.
