My life as a product

 When did you realize that what you want to do with your college degree is something you are naturally talented at?

 This is a very interesting question.  Although most people who graduate college and come out with a bachelors degree will use it in that field, some may not.    Now I may be straying away from the actual question but I guess the question kind of triggered me into talking about this.  When I came to college four years ago I really had no idea what I wanted to major in, or what I was going to do with my life.  At first I sailed through the core classes and requirements, and settled on psychology my sophomore year.  Little did I know at the time, this is not what I wanted to end up doing, so after a couple classes, I let go of that major.  I like to build things and work with my  hands, and I found the product design major, and that really interested me.  Now as a Senior, and a couple months from coming out with my product design degree, I have changed my mind again, and now see a different path for me once I graduate.  I applied to be an apprentice in the fire sprinkler fitters union, and learn to install fire protection sprinkler systems.  Now I don't see Keene as a waste of time, because regardless of what happens, this degree will always be something I can fall back on and something that can help me in the future.  I guess what my whole point is, is that sometimes you may never find something to do with your college degree, but because of your natural talents and strengths, you may find yourself doing a completely different job or trade once you graduate with your degree.
