Going to college can seem daunting (使人畏惧的), and no small part of that is the prospect of having to choose a major, which will set the course for the rest of your career life. Here are some steps that might help make your decision easier:
Step 1: Consider your interests and passions.Do you want a career where you’ll be able to express yourself, or work with numbers?
If you’re pursuing a career in professional fields like medicine or law, you may require more than a four-year degree to get the job that you want.
If you think you have a career in mind, do some investigating in person or online. Try connecting with people in the field and ask them what challenges they faced in getting their degrees and finding jobs afterwards.
Remember, you don’t have to make this decision right away. Taking basic-level courses when you first get to college helps decide your level of interest in pursuing a degree program. Plus, you could always decide to be an Interdisciplinary (跨学科的) studies major!
