For students going to college, picking a major can seem very overwhelming; especially if you don’t know what you want to do as a career. Hopefully this article will simplify the confusion with these tips:

1. Pick something that sounds interesting and go with it. When researching different majors, look at some that looks interesting and take that into consideration when picking a career for you future. For example, if you like helping people, then Humanities might be a major to consider.
2. Don’t feel the need to pick one right away. There is so much research to go into picking a career so don’t feel the need  to pick right away. When researching majors, right them all down in a notebook to reflect on later.
3. When you go on a college tour, ask about certain programs for certain majors. For example, marine biology major might be different at California then it is in NY.
4. What do you like and dislike? If you hate math but love animals, you might want to major in political science to help animals instead of animal sciences.
5. Keep in mind that you change majors in college. Once you get to college, if you decide that you want to change majors, that’s ok. It happens all the time. Just be aware that some colleges make you pay for switching.
6. Double Up. If you can’t decide between majors, that’s ok. Just pick both. Because your classes are determined by the major of choice, doubling a major can be time consuming in your work load but can be done.

Hopefully this helped.
