Choose a career that will make you happy
October 7, 2011
It may be tempting during your college admissions process to take a good hard look at the industries that are hiring, while overlooking the rest. However, the business world is constantly changing, so a good rule of thumb is to always choose a major based on your interests and your aspirations for the future.
To get a real sense of your talents and what sort of profession can work for you, consider visiting a career counselor. These individuals can help guide you toward a program that works for you, so be open and honest so that you aren't swayed in the wrong direction.
Job fairs are another great resource that can help you talk to a professional in your chosen field and learn about the ins and outs of the field. You may just create some lasting business connections that could help you land a job when you get out of school.
Most importantly, look into the many options of college scholarships, grants and financial aid opportunities, some of which can be specific to your major.
