I started a degree with the OU last year. I originally signed up for a history degree as I didn't know what I wanted to do but then my interest in learning French was reignited so I changed to a French/humanities pathway with the intention of studying philosophy as the other half of my qualification, as I realised I like that better than history.
I have been trying to figure out what I want to do after I graduate (although that's a long way off ATM) and so far I have narrowed it down to law, social work or joining the police. I can't decide which currently and no doubt will change my mind many times between now and when it comes to it!
However this has got me thinking about my choice to study French. French is a private hobby, which I don't have enough opportunities to practice but I'm not sure of it's relevance as a qualification bearing in mind I can't actually move to France right now. The OU offer a philosophy & psychology degree, which I think may be more relevant to my intended career path. However, I've never studied psychology before and I'm worried as it's a complete unknown entity.
So that's my dilemma, do I choose French because I like it, or psychology because it may be more relevant? Psychology is completely new ground so iabu to be wary of making the choice? And will the OU be annoyed at me for changing my mind again?
