What can zombies teach you about what to study in college<\/a><\/span><\/em>? Plenty. If you think about the behavior, physical characteristics and overall appeal of a zombie, it's pretty clear that a majority of the population (save for some hardcore fans) would NOT want to become one.<\/p>\n

Zombies are soulless, brainless, drones who wander about, ever searching for food. They are physically unattractive and very unhealthy. They have no other interests or pursuits. Sound familiar? Does it sound like someone in your life, or someone you know? The question is, do you want to maintain an exhausted, shuffling existence; your mind infected by one thought or goal – to earn money at all costs.<\/p>\n

Don't be the person who got sucked into the college because of the way Hollywood made it glamorous and fun. \u00a0There are Reasons To Go To College<\/a> and there are ways to go to waste your time and money.<\/p>\n

If it is – cool. Maybe you will love your job so much, you will find yourself energized or satisfied after each shift, instead of exhausted and worn down. Some people, like nurses, LOVE their jobs. They have to work double shifts, weekends, holidays or even being *gasp* on call. Nurses are dedicated people whom we love because they are awesome.<\/p>\n

However, if you are going into nursing just for the money, pick something else<\/strong> [Tweet This]<\/a>\u00a0The long hours and extra stress will not be worth any monetary value to you in the long run. Don't want to be a zombie? When picking a career, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are dead, inside and out.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

What does that have to do what to study in college<\/span>? While most articles about what to study in college talk about payroll, degrees and schooling needed to obtain them and ease of getting the job after graduation, there is one very important element that is missing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quality of life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you want to make money, but work insane hours that leave you wandering around in pursuit of only work and your next meal, leaving you dead inside?<\/p>\n

Or do you want to make money, but be balanced with work and life, eat and live healthy and be alive in every way?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>Hopefully you chose the second one.<\/p>\n

If you chose the first one, you may already be a zombie. Look! There's your boss! Go eat his brains….<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>The rest of you, keep reading.<\/p>\n

I have come up with a “zombie effect” score. This score is based on data given for each career field. If no data is given on the amount of stress present in each job field, then I will compare similar occupations and assign it a score.<\/p>\n

Of course, the zombie effect score is a guide. Due your own research; talk to professionals in the field, do job searches, get on their email lists, read magazine articles, whatever you can do to determine what to study in college.<\/p>\n

College is one of the biggest investments of your life in both time and money<\/strong> [tweet this<\/a>]. When you are trying to figure out what to study in college, you need to really do your research.<\/p>\n

If you don't have a clue go ahead and take this “Color Test” to figure out what kind of person you are and find a degree path that matches your personality. (Take Test Here<\/a>)<\/p>\n
