Most students are, and should be, confused about their sense of educational and career direction during this year. For many, this is the first opportunity to explore and really find out about themselves, their interests, and their many educational and career options. During this time, many students will change their major at least once.
College majors determine careers.
Your major is one of many factors that will determine your future following graduation. Personal skills, work experience, energy, knowledge of the job search process, contacts you meet and know, persistence, and luck are all important variables. To choose a career, I must know what I want to do for the rest of my life. Developing your career is a lifelong process. During their lifetime, many people change careers, return to school, or pursue other new directions as they learn new information about themselves or the world of work.
