Best college major for an undecided junior?

I'm a junior, and despite conversations with my counselor and online research, I still feel pretty undecided about which major to choose in college. Any advice on a major that provides broad career options, in case I change my mind down the line?

Happy to help! Often, students facing such dilemmas find it helpful to gravitate towards more versatile or foundational majors, at least to start.

If you have any inkling of interest in the sciences, then a major like Biology or Chemistry could serve you well. These majors not only provide you with a solid foundation in the sciences, but also offer several career paths such as healthcare, environmental science, biochemical industries, or further academic studies in science.

On the flip side, if you're more intrigued by the social sciences, Psychology and Sociology are great starting points. These majors can lead to careers in social work, human resources, business, healthcare, counseling, non-profit sector, or research.

For those drawn to the humanities, English or History are both quite flexible. They can lead to jobs in fields like law, public relations, writing or editing, education, and government.

Don't forget business, which is a particularly versatile major that can translate to virtually any industry, be in tech, finance, healthcare, or non-profit.

Remember that many universities allow students to double major or minor in another field, so you can combine your interests. Also, some schools have exploratory or undecided programs specifically designed to help you figure out which major suits you best.

Lastly, don't stress too much about deciding right now. Many students don't declare their major until their sophomore or junior year of college. Take as many diverse classes as you can in your first year, and you might find something you love that you hadn't considered before.
