Which major?

in

I am going into my Junior year of college this fall and want to change my major. However, I do not know if this is the smartest thing to do. I am currently a photography major, but decided that I do not like the technology aspect of it (editing, etc), but I love directing photo sessions and composing an image. I would like to change to Social Work. I work in an environment that is about social work and adoption and I am absolutely loving it. I feel like I am retaining more information at work than at school. It makes me wonder if I enjoy the work I do more than the information I am learning at school. If I stick with photography, I am looking at 17 more classes. Social work will be 19 more. The amount of classes is so close that I can't really use that as a deciding factor.

I say go for it

If that's what you really want to do, go for it! In the grand scheme of things, 2 classes is nothing if it means you'll truly enjoy what you do as a career. I know a lot of people who have pursued photography (and are amazingly talented) without a degree, just as a hobby so that is still a viable option for you to have in your life even if you switch majors.

Just make sure you have enough information (salary, working conditions, availability of jobs or any other component that might be important to you) before making your final decision. I also recommend speaking with an Academic Advisor as well.
