Karissa’s Answer

Knowing which major to pick is a major decision. You may have to take unnecessary classes or even major in the wrong thing only to have to go to graduate school later to get the degree that you can use. Here are a few tips:

1) Are there any classes you enjoyed in high school? Try majoring in that subject. As you take more classes you will be able to see what careers are available.
2) Read “What Color is Your Parachute by Richard Nelson Bolles. This book helps you figure out which career paths match your personality and interests.
3) If you are in college go to the counseling center. Make an appointment with a counselor and ask about a career test.
4) Did you enjoy working in groups in high school? For some people the answer is no. If you did not then working with other people may not be for you.
5) Go through the college catalogue and read through each degree program’s courses. Cross out the ones you know for sure are not right for you.

Some advice that I'd give students that are going through the college application process is to thoroughly research the institutions that you would like to attend and learn more about their programs, size, cost, reputation, accreditation, resources, location, and campus life. Around this time, you should also be gathering letters of recommendation, writing personal essays, applying to standardized tests if they are required, and preparing for interviews with prospective schools. Also be mentally prepared to wait on college admission decisions around December February to see if you were accepted into the school or not, and be ready to make your decision on National Decision Day before or on May 1st. I hope this helps ease some concerns of yours.
