Career Assessment for Choosing a College Major
Choosing a college major is one of the first large financial and career decisions many students make, and it is often made with limited self-understanding.
Why interests alone are not enough
Interests matter, but they are only one part of fit. A student may like the idea of a field but not enjoy the pace, structure, problem-solving demands, or day-to-day work environment that comes with it.
What to evaluate before choosing a major
Before selecting or changing a major, students should think through how they naturally learn, solve problems, interact with others, handle structure, and sustain motivation.
- Does the major align with how the student thinks and learns?
- Does the likely work environment match the student’s behavioral style?
- Do the career paths connected to the major match the student’s interests?
