I’ve been thinking a lot about my degree. I wanted to get my sous chef degree, but lately I’ve been having doubt on if that’s what I want to do for a career. Sure I love cooking and baking, but would I be happy working in a kitchen? Then it dawned on me. Sociology. I could be a social worker, or a counselor. Helping people is one of my best traits, and it really fits with me more than culinary. I’ve come to realize it may be just a hobby, not something I want to achieve in a degree.

I’m not sure how to tell my family. My entire life I’ve been saying I wanted to do culinary, but now I think I want to do sociology instead. All of my family had cheered me on about being the first to graduate college for culinary, and I don’t want to disappoint them. Hell, my grandpa has been way too excited about it, and sharing tips on cooking with me. My mom isnt... the best with support. I’m afraid she’ll get upset with me, and tell me I should stick with culinary. I’ve already spent 9 months in college working up to culinary, but have only gotten one actual class needed for the degree (my college doesnt offer much unless I transfer out of town, which is what I’m doing this year).
