Study doubts
Are you doubting your choice of study programme? Are you considering changing your study path or to quit studying completely?
Here are three things to do before making your final decision.
Find out why you are doubting
Most students will, at some point, doubt their choices in regard to education. If the doubt remains, however, you should take it seriously. Try pinpointing where your doubt originates from.
Is the doubt for instance due to:
- Your studies being too academically challenging?
- Your interests lying elsewhere?
- Personal problems that remove your focus from your studies?
- You having a hard time getting comfortable socially?
Gather information about your options
Consider your options, when it comes to choosing a different study programme:
- Can you apply for credit transfer for any of your courses?
- What does your economic situation look like – how many portions are left of your State Education Grants?
- Making a list of pro’s and con’s for staying or changing direction might prove helpful.
