So you've picked a school (college or technical) but what are
you going to study? I've compiled a list of things to consider when choosing an
academic major. Level of interest: Do you enjoy the subject? You are more
likely to be successful if you enjoy your major. If it bores you, you will
likely be unmotivated and may suffer academically.
Do you have a natural talent/skill? Don't discount any natural talents or
skills, instead, let those skills guide you to success.
Possible careers? What sort of job will your degree prepare you for? Will you
need additional schooling to achieve your career goals? Is your major geared
toward one particular trade (for example; engineering or accounting) or can you
apply it to many careers (Majors such as English, history, psychology that
teach marketable, non-trade specific skills such as reasoning, critical
thinking, writing and communication)?
