Things to Consider When Choosing a Major
Majors are important in college because it's what determines not only what degree you will graduate with, but what career you will be most qualified for once you've graduated. While it might not be something you want to think about right now, it is something you're going to decide on eventually.
The biggest thing to remember when choosing a major is to stick with a subject that interests you. This is for your career, and you're much more likely to be happy if you choose a field that's in line with what you would like to pursue as a dream job.
It is undeniable(不可否认的) that some careers just make more money than others. That means that some majors are more valuable than others, and as college is supposed to be an investment, thinking about your dream salary is of great importance.
So don't choose career that will bring you a great salary but that leaves you feeling depressed and unhappy.
If you're one of those lucky students who know what you'd like your major to be before applying for college, we suggest that you research your top choices first. Which ones are best known? Do these programs have a good reputation for helping students find employment in your field after graduation? Which schools offer world-class professors? These are important questions, because unfortunately, not all majors are created equally.
Don't Panic.
If you've gone through all these tips and you still don't know what you'd like to major in, don't panic. It's normal to go to college not having a clear idea of what you'd like to do as a career; it's also normal to think you know what you want to do as a profession only to change your mind halfway through your time in college. Remember that college is about finding what truly motivates you, so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away.
A. Be confident with yourself.
B. You have time.
C. How much money do you want to make?
D. Talk to professionals in the field.
E. However, remember that your happiness is very important.
F. What schools are best for your interests?
G. What excites you?
