Hi everyone! I'm a junior, and I've been starting to think about what major I want to pursue in college. I have a few interests, but I'm not sure how to narrow it down and make a decision. Can anyone offer some advice on how to choose a major for my college applications? Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's great that you're starting to think about your college major. One thing that helped my child in choosing a major was to do some self-reflection on their interests and strengths. Make a list of subjects you enjoy and areas where you excel, and see if there's a common thread or a particular field that stands out. It's also helpful to research potential careers related to your interests and see which ones align with your goals and values. Connecting with professionals in those fields, either through your personal network or online platforms like LinkedIn, can provide valuable insights and help you make an informed decision. Remember that you can always change your major later if you find it's not the right fit for you. Most importantly, follow your passion and trust your instincts. Good luck with your college journey!
