After having been in my first college year for a couple of months, I still had no idea what I was leaning towards for a major. Within these first couple of months I had learned that Biomedical Studies was not something that I was sure of, along with many other careers and majors that I learned about in the Compass class that were not for me. Tired of not knowing what I wanted to do, I sat myself down and did some researched. I came upon

College is one of the most important things in our life; it is the first step towards having a good career. This is why it is important that you pick the right major that best fits you because that is what you most likely will do for the rest of your life. Before reading Major in Success by Patrick Combs, I was like many other college students, just floating along not sure why I am in the major I am in right now with many questions that only someone who had previously been in the same situation could answer. Many of my friends feel the same way, they are in a major their parents picked for them or in a major that they feel will bring them the most amount of money after graduation. I highly enjoyed reading this book because it made me realize that I am not the only one who has uncertainties about my future and career plans. Major in Success gave me examples of others that have previously been in my shoes and it turned out well in the end for them, so after reading this book I think everything will be just fine for me.

Selecting a college major is an important decision, and it is not one that should be made lightly. It is important to remember, however, that declaring a major is not an irreversible decision. It is not uncommon for college students to change majors one or more times after they enroll in college. Sometimes, you need time, research, and reflection before you can choose a college major. Setting college goals can help you, as can understanding different college majors and how they can move you closer to your goals. Do your research, keep an open mind, and be honest with yourself, and you can choose a college major that

When you focus on a career major, you have to have a reasonable picture of what you are getting into. You have to get correct data and assess it. Numerous components go into picking a school or college major including parental or peer influence,

Everyone who decides to enroll in college must, at some point, think about what area they want to major in. There are many things that students consider when choosing a major. Some make their decision based on what they think can make them the most money once they begin their lives in the work force. However, many students believe that if you choose a major that interests you and challenges you then you can use those skills that can help you in any career. (R. Landrum & S. Davis, 2014) Let’s face it. Employers know that when they hire someone straight out of college they are not immediately going to know

A big concern in todays’ world for graduating college students is being able to find a job right out of school. More times than not, there are many problems that occur when a student chooses a specific career path. In the short exert “Why Focusing Too Narrowly In College Could Backfire”, written by Peter Cappelli, he discusses in his opinion, as well as many others, the right path students should be taking. The lead way students should be following to secure they get a job in a field they will enjoy. Many students have trouble picking a college to go to let alone what major they want to focus on. Students are told to pick a major and start taking the classes for it as soon as possible without realizing they might not even enjoy that field of work. There are many struggles in college with picking the correct classes and

There are many majors out there and tons to choose from. Many students in high school by now have an idea on what they’re interested on becoming. So far, I have no clue on what I want to study, but I do have a picture of it. Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in your life. Because of that you have to choose very carefully and make sure whatever you choose will suite you. Whether it’s from engineering or going into the medical field, they all take time. Here I have chosen 5 careers that I myself am very interested on studying after high school.

To begin with, discovering what types of employment maximize my personality let me know whether or not I am pursuing the right major. For instance, computer science and engineering were listed as two possible candidates. Although I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Sciences in Mathematics, all of these occupations are similar. Each of these professions requires diligence, accuracy, and analytic ability, which fully utilizes an

One of the many issues I faced as a collage student was choosing the correct major. I did not know what I wanted to accomplish after collage once I entered the work force. I had always seen myself in business somewhere but I never had a revelation on which major was the best for me. I realized that I needed some direction to my life and that I couldn’t get through collage without choosing a career path to take.

Given the question of who I aspire to be professionally in ten years, I start to think about my possible career options. Right now I am learning about computer networking, but I am leaning more towards the security side of the computer world with this I realize that I can have a career in both networking and security. Three years ago I was thinking about my future and realized that I needed to change my major from the Medical Administrative Assistant program I had started in because I quickly realized that this career was not going to be for me and allow me to live up to my potential so, I decided to switch my major to networking to get an education about computers, which I enjoy a lot and feel more comfortable with as well as eager to be

As a student who is not nearly at the precipice of adulthood, it is very challenging to lay down future plans that eventually, will dictate a crucial segment of your life. I, for one, not only speak for myself but for other students as well. Students like myself are quite dilatory when it comes to adhering to a respective future plan. Until the summer before my senior year, I was utterly indecisive about what career to pursue in college. During that

According to St. Louis University, it’s not unusual for a freshman to not know what to major in. While some may believe that kids should know their majors before they get to school, maybe this isn’t the best tactic to take. Instead, it’s reasonable to think that a person’s education will influence his/ her decisions about what to major in.

Choosing a major can be a long and complicated process. Many people change their mind multiple times before settling on one that they can use towards a career they are passionate about. Eventually, people do make a choice whether it is early on in their lives or in college. In my case, I always believed I wanted to pursue a career that involved both science and math. Those were the classes that interested me the most. The challenge of solving a math problem and the exciting nature of learning about new science discoveries kept me entertained throughout my school career. All I struggled with was finding a single field that I was passionate about. After contemplating careers in both engineering and the sciences, I decided on biology and biomedical engineering.

Attention/need step: How hard is it to make a life changing decisions? Those decisions that affects your education, the career paths you choose and whether or not you become successful. Founder of Quintessential Careers and present CEO of EmpoweringSites.com, Doctor Randall S Hansen stated in a recent article, that majority of college students struggle to select a major and stick with it (Hanson, 2016). If you believe this is the hardest decision there is to make about your future, how about the decision you have to make about your career? Is there anyone out there in the audience that can stand and confidently say that they are sure that the career they have chosen will yield precisely what they anticipate?

One thing that varies faster than the gasoline price may be the debate around the value of a right path for a young adult— which major guarantees a smooth access to a decent job offer. According to the article, “Not All College Majors Are Created Equal”, the author, Michelle Singletary, indicates that college degrees are not the same based on the different majors. She starts her article with a question that she asked her college students, “What’s your major?” Singletary immediately determines her student’s future by the major that the student is choosing. Later in the article, she states her opinions on how majors have played a great important role in one’s career life by using different examples and statistics. Indeed, college majors are not
