Whatever new major you decide to pursue, please don't pursue any of these.
And you'll be the butt of every other major's jokes.
A lot of it though, is I really have no clue what it is that I do want to do. So if I were to stop taking these classes... what would I be doing...
As well, I've looked thoroughly at the careers I could get once I graduate with the double major, and I cannot see myself enjoying them, especially as a long term career. I feel as though what I'm doing right now is just pushing myself into something I won't love.
What would you do in a situation like mine? I need pointers. Really not sure what I even want at this point in life.
Here's how you figure out what you want to do: what would you do with your time if you didn't need to work?
Now find a way to get paid to do that.
Exactly the same thing happened to me.I am currently in Computer Science, something I thought I would love and found out I don't want anything to do with it so this will be my last year.

Out if curiosity what kind of careers did you look into? I ask a 2nd-year Geography major also in Canada.
I think you meant stigma and not dogma, but that's fine.
Anyway let's be upfront here, anyone who's chosen any major on that list will be quick to proclaim that there's nothing wrong with studying that major; it's self-justification after all. I still think communications isn't a very useful major however, and we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.
Yes, you are correct. I don't know how I messed this one up
You are also right that everyone will defend his or her own major. I'll just say that the majority of people that work in the media have a degree in communication. In addition, most large companies have a PR/Media division. Not to mention that a lot of company CEO's and COO's have communication degrees as well.
Of course, that says nothing about the actual knowledge gained. There is a reason why communication falls under the Bachelor of Arts category - it is an art, and requires a certain amount of talent and proper apptitude. Everyone can get a degree in communication, but very few actually have what it takes to build a successful career. (I hope I'll be one of the later)
I would of thought most CEO's or COO's would have had business degrees though our current CEO has an engineering degree.
Whatever new major you decide to pursue, please don't pursue any of these.
And as a Writing major, I'm expected to become a suicidal alcoholic.
