By John Adams \u201926, staff writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abby Adams wanted to be a mental health psychologist, but over time that vision changed into something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams has always felt the importance of mental health in people’s lives. This passion is what helped drive her decision to attend LVC. She was originally enrolled in the three-plus-two-year Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) program but changed her path along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started to realize it was not a career I wanted for myself, and I had other interests as well,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams also had an interest in business administration, especially in the marketing field, which her dad currently works in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would say his career opened me up to that field but did not make me immediately want to join,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Adams\u2019 junior year, she changed her path. She continued as a psychology major but dropped out of the CMHC program and picked up a minor in marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because she had done three years in an accelerated program, she graduated with her bachelor’s degree a year early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, she was accepted into LVC\u2019s business administration master\u2019s degree program and is almost halfway done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf someone would have told me that this is where I would be in my career path 3 years ago, I probably would just laugh because I was set on the counseling program,” Adams said. “It is crazy how much can change in your college career, and I feel like I am a good example of that .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams is currently halfway through her degree and is happy with her decision. She plans to apply for a job in the marketing field after graduation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
