How do I decide on a major to pursue in college?

Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about your college major early on. Picking a major can be a challenging decision, but considering your interests, potential career paths, and the college's resources is a good place to start. To narrow down your interests, try speaking to people in different fields and getting involved in relevant clubs or activities to discover what truly excites you. Also, research potential careers related to your interests and consider factors like job availability, earning potential, and work-life balance. It's essential to choose a college that offers strong programs and resources in your chosen field, so keep that in mind during your college search. Remember, many students change their major once they're in college, so it's not set in stone. Explore your options and trust your gut feeling. Good luck!
