How much does my college major really influence whether I’ll land my dream job? #Spring25
Choosing a major often feels like one of the most important decisions in college. Many students are told that their major will define their career path — but in reality, the connection between what you study and what you do after graduation isn't always direct. How much does my college major really influence whether I’ll land my dream job, considering that many careers today seem to prioritize skills, experience, and networking over the specific degree earned? Is it possible that what I study in college may not be as crucial as how I apply that knowledge and build relevant experiences outside of the classroom?

Is getting a sociology degree worth it?
I'm a high school senior interested in sociology, but I have heard that it won't set me up well for my future career, or that it's a "useless" degree. I value community engagement, and I enjoy studying how different communities interact with each other, human development and psychology, and I love writing. It sounds like a major that would fit my interests, but is it really a waste of time?

East ChicagoHow to decide between a major in film or finance?
I'm torn because my film teacher said that you don't need a degree to work in film, but isn't that the same with accounting? My true career goal is to become a film director, but I can't practice anything without equipment -equipment is expensive and from what I know accounting pays pretty well if you know what you're doing. I'm interested in both, but don't know what I should major in - and what I should minor in.
