Something I want every Spark-ED member who is currently choosing or reconsidering a major to sit with.
Some of the most disengaged professionals I encounter made the practical choice.
Stable field. Reliable employment. Good starting salary.
They got the job.
They are competent at it.
They are completely checked out from work that was never connected to anything they cared about.
That is a different kind of stuck.
And it is harder to escape because everything looks fine from the outside.
Before you pick a major based primarily on what feels safe, ask yourself this:
"What problem do I actually want to spend my career working on?"
Not what title sounds good.
Not what pays well at entry level.
The problem.
That question points you somewhere stability alone never will.
Drop below what problem you would actually want to spend your career working on.
Let's see what that reveals about the direction you are heading. 👇
