How do I avoid limiting my career options to the major I choose in college?

Hello everyone!

I have always believed that no one should be forced to choose what they do for the rest of life at a young age. How can I give myself more freedom to explore different careers, and at the same time, remain focused on one area of study? Thank you.

Best,
Benjamin

I’m worried I won’t be able to get a good job after college to be able to pay back the loans. I’ve heard horror stories of people paying $900 just on interest rates. #college #loans # #job-search

Is it worth it to apply to ivy league schools even though out of state tuition is much higher? I am worried I will have a lot of student debt and get homesick.

In state tuition is very cheap and there isn't any ivy league schools in utah.
