Majors & Careers
Did you know the average college student will change their major three times, and the average person will change careers five to seven times during their working years? So, when it comes to figuring out your major, you are not expected to have all the answers. It is a rare high school student who truly knows what they want to study in college.
However, spending a little focused time now on exploring majors and career options best suited for you will not only expose you to some new ideas and major possibilities but help you get to know yourself better. So before you embark on your post-secondary planning, take some assessments to determine whether a potential major or career path feels aligned with your developing sense of purpose and your awareness of your values, skills, and aptitudes. Regardless of your choice, by researching and exploring majors and careers now, you are setting yourself up for a post-secondary experience filled with more purpose and joy in a major and career path right for you.
