Is it normal to change my major because of this
I was going to be a Biochem major, but the biology class, has become depressing- the last lesson, we learned about an experiment on mice (Obviously they do that) but seeing the picture of a dead mouse, even though it was just a drawing, made me want to cry... I started to think I would have to do that sort of thing to get a job in the field, even panicked a bit, same when i saw in the Lab portion, there were empty rodent cages lining the cabinets, just like the ones i had for my own pet rodents... I freaked out a little inside, worrying I would have to experiment on live animals... I suppose we wont just in first year... but now I want to change my major for this? I know I am overreacting but I am very sensitive about that sort of thing and I love mice and I cannot hurt any living thing with feelings. IIN.
Actually, I would much rather be a Chemist, but I don't think I was smart enough for that. Plus, I know when working with chemicals, elements, etc. it can have negative effects on humans too, and that made me sad as well. I started thinking, I can't do any job that has such an effect on people, it's too much responsibility... I don't know what to do...
