This is the forth post of the series “How to choose the right college major”.
I am not sure everyone have had time and energy to go through all of the parts in this topic, so I thought it would be a good thing to write a little summary or some sort of conclusion.
Conclusion
Ask yourself what you really like and enjoy, then select a study related to your interest. There is no big deal if you choose a wrong one; you can always change it after one year or even at the very first semester. I know students that experiment and try different studies before they land on the right one and many have found such experience highly beneficial.
If you have no plan to stay more time than necessary at the college/university then all you need to do is some handy research before you select your choice of study. Use your friends, family, elder students and ask them all sorts of questions. I don’t actually recommend asking high school advisers anything at all, as I am of the opinion of being in doubt of how well they know what is best for you or me. I believe that people that know you would give you the best of advice, not those that are paid to do that.
Something that I have found really helpful is the Internet and discussion boards. Look at different forums for information, which should be very useful and insightful as most study dilemmas have been overly discussed on the net. If not, ask the questions yourself and you will receive some answers rather quickly.
Other possibilities include visiting potential colleges and attend some lectures to see what it feels like.
After gathering as much information as possible you should be able to make an easier decision. In our previous post I mentioned that money should not hold much weight in your decision making. If you choose by the money, you will probably regret it. Money might seem like a tool of motivation at the beginning but as we get older other aspects of life starts to hold greater value.
That was all for this time on this topic fellas, but I hope you will leave a comment or two and tell us what you think! If you have some questions you can send me an E-mail or just leave a comment!
