Blog #5- Justin Borrero

Prior to this year, my first year of college, I became a researcher of self-success. I wanted to leave college with no regrets and make my life a breeze from that point on.
The first place I had to start at was choosing my major. I had to find a subject that I was both good at and actually enjoyed. I narrowed myself down to either history or math. Now it was deciding which had more opportunities for me to make the most money. The obvious choice was math, so I began to narrow it down to majors that were primary math based. Then I had to decide of the many options which was not only the one that brought the most money, but also which was the safest career choice that I wouldn't have to worry if I will have a job further down the road. This lead me to Engineering, but research only became harder from that point on. With the many different options of engineering, choosing one was not easy. I asked many adults on there opinion about the topic. Some told me chase the money and go for Nuclear Engineering. Others told me to go with Civil Engineering because it was the safest option available. After doing some research on both engineering majors I decide neither were right for me. I wanted to make more money than Civil Engineering offered, on the other hand could I even survive college with a major like Nuclear Engineering?
I choose to start from scratch and think deeper on what I really like to do. A light bulb lite up in my head with the idea of cars. I have always loved working on cars with my dad and knew a good amount about them too. Being a mechanic would be great because I would be around cars all the time, but there really wasn't any money in that and could be a very unstable job. I researched car careers and after looking past all the NASCAR stuff that popped up, I finally found what major I wanted to take on and make a career out of. Automotive Engineering.
