Deciding Your Major

More than what seems to be a million times you have been asked by people what you are majoring in, and of course your answer is that you are not decided. The conversation comes to an abrupt halt when you are asked about what interests you because your future is unclear. Research has it that most students change their majors at least three times as a result of being undecided about what they want to do in the future.

The fact that you are undecided about what you want to major in the future and you are reading this is actually proof that you are ahead of your peers who do not want to accept such simple facts as these. The fact is that you will have to declare your major soon enough and instead of making a big fuss out of this as if it is a life changing event (not that it isn’t) just take baby steps at it; after all, it’s never that serious.

The first thing to do is to handle your college education the smart way. This is by attending classes for a wide range of units so as to have a larger choice when finding your area of interest. Well you might not achieve perfection in studies for the time being but your decision will be more profound. Find out about the classes you attended from your upperclassmen. Find about what they liked and disliked about the different majors but do not dismiss a major just because someone doesn’t like it. After talking to your friends, then rule out the various majors basing on what is required from you by the institution. Finally take a test to help you establish you areas of strengths and weakness.
