Choosing a Major? These 4 Steps Can Help

1. Know Yourself: 💭✨

Think about what excites you and what you’re naturally good at. What hobbies, subjects, or activities make you feel energized? A major that fits your passions and strengths will keep you motivated and excited to learn.

2. Research Careers: 🔍💼

Explore careers that match your interests and check what professionals in those fields actually do. Take career tests like 16Personalities or Truity to see what jobs fit your personality. Don’t forget to check degree or certification requirements!

3. Try It Out: 💪📚

Test the waters by taking courses on Skillshare or Coursera. Intern, volunteer, or take part-time jobs to see if the field feels right. Joining clubs and attending workshops can also help you gain experience while having fun!

4. Get Advice: 🗣️🎓

Talk to professors, professionals, or mentors to hear their stories and tips. Connect with seniors or alumni for real-life advice. Your school’s career center is also a great place for personalized career guidance.
