You’ve gathered the information, so now what?

Compare Your Options

Create a list of positives and negatives for each option you have. Compare your choices across similar categories, and be sure to think about things like time to graduation, job opportunities, admission, and degree requirements, etc.

Connect Your Major to Your Future

Majors and careers are not always directly related. Employers often hire someone based on their skills rather than their major.

Challenge the stereotypes about “useless” majors or majors that will “guarantee you a job.” Some of these resources can help you draw connections between a major and a career path.
