Once you have clarified your own skills and talents, you can begin to research career fields that will fit your strengths and interests. As you begin to understand your career interests, choosing a major is much easier. Try to choose a major which will allow your individual skills and talents to flourish and, at the same time, seek experiences outside the classroom to supplement what you are learning and to prepare yourself for the world of work. As a general rule, the best major is one that interests you and challenges you. Ideally, you will enjoy the classes in your major.
Many students are concerned about how major choice relates to potential career fields.
There are a variety of resources at Tunxis to help you with decisions about your major and career interests. Yes, as stated above many careers do not require a specific field of study. Employers do not normally list jobs with a requirement for a BA in English or BS in History but rather employers seek individuals with a set of skills or experiences. All majors can develop these skills. However, this is not to say that there will be a job waiting for you upon graduation.
