Except in the most highly specialized areas and some technical fields, several alternate ways exist to prepare academically to begin a career. Some majored in economics, some minored in a business curriculum. Some majored in an area of study very remote from business, like English, but took a few key courses in business and gained skills though work experiences. If you have a definite career goal, you should explore the advantages and disadvantages of the various paths that you might take to reach that goal. Relatively few people are absolutely certain about what they want to do with forty-five or more years of their lives when they are seventeen or eighteen years old.
Some people are naturally more reflective than others.
They have a good sense of who they are, know their strengths and weaknesses, and how these relate to the outside world and to the kind of work they eventually want to do. Some of you may never have had a paying job at all. So even by the time you have selected the college or university you will attend, you may have little of the information you need to make a good choice of major, much less a good choice of a career. To be undecided about the choice of a major or career is therefore not only natural, but may well be a positive recognition that you have insufficient information on which to base a final choice. Most students are at least somewhat tentative about that choice of major and their eventual career when they enter the university.
