Have
you finished schooling? I hope you have really enjoyed your schooling, and in
some subjects, you might have got nice grades. Actually you loved your school
life for one or the other reason. And that reason may help you choose a major
in college.
Well now it's time to choose your major in college, and you are trying to choose the right one.
Well
I know you are trying many things to get to know the right choice of major that
suits your abilities and native talent. OK, let me give you some advice on it.
Think
back on school life, the major achievements and the charm of various subjects.
Which were you most interested in? Did you enjoyed and loved mathematics? Have
you been prominent in sports? Are you a lover of Biology? Think back and you
will get the answer to the question that is driving you here and there.
Think
about the type of assignments that interested you at school. Think about which
subject came easily to you while others always hated it. I mean of all this is
that you should explore your interests. Just follow your interests while
choosing a major at college. If you are not sure, continue studying this post…
Visit a Career Counselor for guidance
Why don’t you
go straight to college’s career counselor? He/she will definitely help you
choose right major as they use various personality tests and assessment tools
for this purpose. Through them, you can get off-the-record information such as
which curriculum require the most reading and which professors are the most
fun. When it comes time for crafting a resume, career counselors can also help
you present your college major as an asset for your targeted career field.
In addition,
your career center or academic department of interest should have a list of
alumni who’ve gone through the department and what they’re doing today. Can you
see yourself in their shoes one day? If so, get connected with your college’s
alumni mentoring program.
Test-Drive Before Choosing a Major in College
Why
not sit in on a few classes? Or better yet, consider landing an internship,
even if you have to work for free. It’s an opportunity to explore a field
without a long-term commitment.
Keep Your Options Open
If
you’re still undecided or think you might change your major, it’s best to
enroll in a college with a variety of solid programs. That way, you won’t have
to change universities if you decide to switch college majors.
Acceptance
into certain programs can be competitive. If you’re interested in, say,
journalism, and know that enrollment is limited, pick journalism as your
college major. Should you change your mind, it’ll be easier to transfer out of
journalism than to transfer in.
That
said, keep in mind that there are multiple avenues to most careers. Consider
your long-term goals, but when choosing a major in college, also make sure
that’ll get you through the next four years. If you’ll be going on to graduate
school, you can always take post-baccalaureate classes in order to meet the
admission requirements. For example, medical schools accept candidates from any
major. Ultimately, employers are more concerned with your skill set than with
the title of your degree.
