【推荐3】We know that choosing a college major can be stressful.
Career preparation
Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study. Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a physical therapist, or a web developer.
Earning potential
Future earning potential is worth considering. After all, college is such a big investment. The majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, mathematics, computer science, and economics.
Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If your love is philosophy, don’t write it off just because you're not sure about what the job market holds for philosophers. Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers.
Explore your interests
If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that's okay.
| A．Many schools don't require students to declare a major until the second year |
| B．The most exciting aspects of college life is that it fosters new passions |
| C．A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields |
| D．However, keep your quality of life in mind, too |

【推荐1】Some movies better picture some areas of study that are difficult to understand with just textbook assignments. Here are some.
WALL·E
This science fiction movie helps to improve our focus on ways to find what life is about and to face the problem rather than sitting with it. And at times it is important to live the life rather than surviving and it is good to make decisions based on the current status of the situation rather than going with the past experiences.
Legally Blonde
This is the story of a young girl who overcame her inferiority feelings and insecurity to get her education from Harvard Law School. It is inspiring for those who fail to recognize their talents and keep on standing backwards. This movie makes it to the point that a good effort and a determination can help anyone to make use of their potential and gain more respect in life.
The Manhattan Project
This movie tells the story of teenagers whose school science project came out in a much bigger way than the norms. The making of nuclear bomb by the students with the information gathered from the Internet is inspiring in terms of what a teenager can do with will power and hard work.
Remember the Titans
This movie showcases the importance of team work, a true leader and perseverance to achieve success. It tells the story of a good coach of a school’s football team who used his leadership qualities to bridge the cultural gap among his students to help them perform as a team and win the championship.

【推荐2】Dream job in the Antarctic includes counting penguins
Always wanted to count penguins in Antarctica? Well now you can, with the Penguin Watch project, launched today by Oxford University.
Penguins—globally loved, but under threat. Research shows that in some regions, penguin populations are in decline; but why? Click “get started” to begin monitoring penguins, and help us answer this question. With over 100 sites to explore, we need your help now more than ever!
Workers have to count penguins and other wildlife for the British Antarctic Survey, and a report is due by the end of employment. Other duties include managing the gift shop and the post office on behalf of the British Antarctic Territory Government. The post office says it gets about 80,000 pieces of mail a season.
According to the application, the successful candidate “will need to be physically and medically able to do the job.” Living conditions are “basic but comfortable,” but there is limited power and no running water or Internet access, which means “very minimal communication” to the outside world.
It’s not just for fun, though; the project has some important implications. With their findings, the researchers hope to detail the effects of climate change by analyzing data on timing of breeding, survival rate of chicks, and rate of predation on chicks.
For those interested below 35 years old, the application can be found here, with a deadline at 7:59 p. m. on August 25. International candidates can apply, but they must have the right to work in the United Kingdom and fluent in English, and those selected will have a week of training in Cambridge in October.
If you would like to support our work, we would be extremely grateful. Here are some ways you can get involved:
£50—Become a Penguin Pen Pal, and we will send you a postcard from our next field season in Antarctica.
£l50—Sponsor a Penguinologist, and receive a little pack of Penguin Watch goodies.
