What if all the things you’re interested in aren’t available in just one college?

Hello Lizbeth,

Have you looked at big schools? A lot of the really big schools have different 'colleges' within the schools that focus on different things, so you might be able to go to one school and get everything that you want.

If you are sure that no schools off everything that you want to do, you might consider some of these options:

1. Choose one of the things that you want to do and could have the most potential in getting a job right out of school and go to school for that. Then you can get a job while you go to a different school to pursue your other goals.
2. Reconsider what you want to go to school for. Think about what you would use each thing for or what jobs are available in that field. Would you be able to be happy pursuing one of them as a hobby instead of a major?
3. There are a lot of schools that allow you to make your own major/minor. You could look into one of those. Most schools allow you to create your own club if that is what the school is missing.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your decision and with your college search!

Hey Lizbeth,

I understand the difficulty of selecting a school.  I recently went back to school at Benedictine University for the adult program in Business Analytics.  I say, go for what you believe you will enjoy doing.

At the end of the day,  your effort is all that matters not the university.

Hope this helps,

Jose
