Looking for an easy college major with good job prospects

Hi there, I'm currently working on my college list and I'd like to know about some relatively easy majors that still have good job prospects upon graduation. Can anyone give me some advice or share their experiences with choosing the right major?

Hey! I completely understand wanting to find a major that balances a manageable workload with potential job opportunities. While 'easy' is subjective, some majors often considered manageable are Business Administration, Communications, Information Technology, or even something like a Health Sciences major. Each of these often has good job prospects, but the difficulty level can vary by school and your own strengths.

I recommend checking out each school's course catalog to see what majors they offer and the specific classes you'd need to take. Talk to current students or alumni to get a feel for the workload and potential career paths. Trust me, it's better to have an idea of what you want early on.

Also, keep in mind there's no 'one-size-fits-all' major—what works for someone else might not work for you. Just choose something that aligns with your interests, and opportunities will often follow. Good luck!
