Is it normal you want to major in something you're not already good at?

Thanks guys! All of these made me feel really happy and more confident that my passion is real and not just a fantasy. I have a pretty big project to do for my broadcasting class and this is going to be the first time I finally get my hands on the process literally without being familiar with any of the equipment and stuff. I know Im not going to be pro all the way through but I know if I focus and not care how much I mess up, I'm only gonna get there faster :-)

Yes, it is normal! You're pursuing the career you want, and WORKING hard to get it! No one should pick something to major in just because they're good at it. You are going to be very successful!

I was doing journalism for a while too, and was unsure about it. But I think that if it truly is something that you like doing, then why not do it, and really try this time? Put the negativity aside, and forget how hard the technology might be, or how bad you think you are at writing, and push really hard. There is always gonna be room for improvement, and nobody is perfect anyway, so just try really hard with the mindset that you can do it. Be positive about it.

I know a lot of people who have gone into majors where they knew nothing about it. But you learn as you go. They give you the classes you need so that you can figure out whatever it is you need to know, then you eventually get better. Most thing's in life you have to learn about first before doing it. So it's normal that you're going into a major you're not good at it. You'll get good at it. You'll learn what you need to know, and you'll get better at it.

It does not matter if you are not good at your subject as long you have a passion for it.

Personally, following a subject you are good at is boring. I love the challenge of doing a subject I am crap at. :D

You want to be something special.
You think that entertainment reporting is special.
You like to gossip, about pop culture.
Your literary skills are lacking.
Your technology skills are lacking.

So, looks like you CAN live your dream, but first you need to focus less on the glory of your future success, and instead, focus more on acquiring the skills you MUST have in order to have ANY successful career. The ability to communicate effectively through words is an asset to any career.

I like you story. You are definitly normal. It is hard to give advice to you on this since I have never met you and know so little, but you have to pursue your dreams. There will be times when it is hard and when you will be embarrassed (everyone who pursues anything expereinces this to some degree), but you will prove to others and to yourself that you are on the right track through your passion. But, also, if at some point you loose this passion or not longer want to pursue this career, then it probably isn't for you and you should switch to something else whenever it becomes possible.

Seems like your a goal getter and a challenge seeker I don't see anything wrong with that

I would say go for it! I think doing something you love is more important than the amount of money you make or if you're amazing at it or not. Because in the end you just want to be happy. And most likely, even if you're not good at it now, if you keep at it, you probably will be in the future! Good luck! :)

Theoretically college is supposed to teach u stuff. If u spend all ur time taking classes where u already know the stuff or could teach urself what is the point?
