Hey everyone! I'm a junior in high school and I'm starting to think about what major I might want to pursue in college. What factors should I consider when making this decision? How did you decide on your major? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there! It's great that you're starting to think about your major early on. When choosing a major, consider the following factors: your interests, strengths, career goals, and the job market. Reflect on the subjects you enjoy most in school and the activities you're passionate about. Align your major with your strengths, as you'll likely excel in a field you're naturally good at. Also, think about what type of career you want and how the major you choose will help you achieve those goals. Research the job market to ensure there are opportunities in your desired field after graduation. Ultimately, it's a personal decision that may involve a lot of self-reflection and research. I decided on my major after taking a variety of classes in college and realizing which subject I was most passionate about and what career path I wanted to follow. Don't be afraid to change your major if your interests evolve. Good luck!
