Dearest Gooberhead - So, you gots some options.
1) You CAN change majors. Jillions of students do it every year. What's one more student loan for a LIFE TIME of difference?
2) Frankly, I fergit your major...but lets say it's bean counting. Plan to only count beans for an agency that warms the hearts, bodies, and souls of people in need. Don't bean count for "The Man, Inc.".
3) For some reason, this is always an unpopular suggestion...but do volunteer work! It can make a huge difference, truly, in a persons life. Find the area of need that compels you. Call them. Ask what you can do to help. You can work with kids, eldery, teens, mentally ill folks, developmentally disabled kids or adults, or any other population that makes you ache to help.
You can limit the time you spend there to just what you can spare. You can take a gentle soul out of the psychiatric hospital for a couple hours to go to Walmart! It would be the highlight of their month.
So...there you go. I'm a very practical chick. If you feel bad about not doing something, the sure cure is to do it.
