First of all, I do think it is best to finish school as fast as you can. Because. The quicker you can do it, the more time you have to network and climb the ladder before your body starts falling apart and you need to pay medical bills and your kids and spouse are all sucking you dry and the more time you have to build an investment portfolio to fund your retirement (because you will need it).
I do not think it is wise to float around aimlessly because you just can't decide between all these things you want to do! until you are 30 and then suddenly realize that your undergrad degree will actually not pay off the ten years worth of loans you accumulated and your parents wont pay for your living expenses anymore.
Call me judgmental if you will, I could have studied English, Humanities, Business, Teaching, Music, Psychology, Social Work, etc and been very happy. But I picked ONE major I liked and one I knew could support me, stuck with it, and am now living quite comfortably. I still have room for grad school and/or a change of careers, and have a good support base of work experience, quality education, and network connections to get me through all of that. Would another major have made me more happy? Very possibly. But I wasn't about to sit through three more years of school to find out and I do not regret that at all. And when I hear someone talk about how they are so glad they waited and changed their major a million times only to end up with something worthless (all the while talking about how they have no food because they have no money because they have no job and their dad hasn't given them any work to do in a while) I really have to wonder how happy they will be in a year when their situation hasn't changed.
Secondly, I do not approve of boys who try to get all up on my homegirl and then walk around the neighborhood two timing with some other girl, bless her heart. And THEN invite themselves over to my house like we are so chummy. Nope. Do not approve.
