89. Major Dilemma actually liked. That s learning the hard way. Read more about choosinga major and preparing for a career at the college 101 Bookstore! http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/1150/major.html

Major Dilemma A charming young lady asked my advice on choosing a major. This is what I told her: My standard advice for a student who can't decide on a major would be to take a wide variety of courses (most colleges have core curricula that require such variety, anyway) and see which ones spark an interest. It seems that this wouldn't apply to you, since you've already been taking courses for a couple of years. Well, have you tried the counseling office at your school? Many students don't realize that the counselors are happy to help with run-of-the-mill problems such as choosing a major, and are not just there for serious crisis issues. Most schools have a specialized career counseling office that can help, too. They usually can offer standardized psychological tests that measure your interests (even interests you may not be aware of) or measure your vocational aptitude (what jobs suit you best). Ask if they offer the Myers-Briggs and/or the Strong-Campbell tests. Most do, and it is usually free for full-time students. A counselor has to interpret the results of these tests and provide you with detailed feedback (this is part of the same service). You must have taken a good number of courses in several diverse fields by now. Which ones turned you on? Did any seem particularly easy to you because they were interesting or fun? DON'T think about them as career potentials; just ask yourself which courses you LIKED. Period. If something stands out clearly in your mind, go for it.

Specialized Student Services Career Services Workshops Courses ... Transfer Information Choosing a Major Most college students think an academic major exists for each specific career field, and that it is impossible to enter most career fields unless they choose a matching major for undergraduate study. This is not true! The relationship of college major to careers varies. Obviously, some career choices dictate that you choose a specific undergraduate major. If you want to be a nurse, you must major in nursing. Engineers major in engineering. Architects major in architecture. There is no other way to be certified as a nurse, engineer, or architect. However, most career fields don't require a specific major, and people with specific majors don't always have to use them in ways most commonly expected. Most colleges don't offer specific preparation for a single type of work. Instead, they provide abroad education so that you can develop a variety of career options. Your awareness of the relationship between career fields and college majors can play a vital part in your choice of academic major, minor, and electives.

"I Have to Pick a Major Now What?" by Peter Vogt MonsterTRAK Career Coach Every time you're on break from school, someone hits you with that most common question asked of college students: "What's your major?" For months, you've been able to get away with responses like "I'm not sure," or "I'm keeping my options open." But now thanks to your school's academic rules, your parents' incessant nagging or even your own impatience you're forced to make a choice, and you don't know what to do. Thousands of college students around the country go through the same anxiety-producing experience every year, often around mid-semester when they have to choose their courses for the following semester (and they've already taken all their general or core courses). Are you in the "I have to pick a major now what?" mode? If so, don't panic. If you're like many college students, the major you select won't have a huge impact on your future career anyway. But even if it will, there are plenty of things you can do to help yourself make a sound decision. Meet with a Campus Career Counselor.

A description of careers associated with common majors Why you shouldn't worry about what major you choose: Much academic advising is done with a focus on majors: either helping a student to choose one, or helping a student to craft a personalized program once a major has been declared. While this is certainly an important aspect of advising, there is such a thing as stressing it too much. Students today often come into college with great anxiety about which major they should choose. A recent edition of Academic Advising News contained the following statement: Academic Advising News , Vol. 14, No. 4, Sept. 1992, p. 1) This is the kind of information that is important to hear, whether you are a student who is undeclared or who has already declared a major.
