What Should I Major In?

Sure, you can get an IT job without it, but with it, you open yourself up to infinite possibilities. Computer Science is a broader field of study than you think. You can learn about natural language recognition, robotics, AI, gaming tech, and of course the usual things like programming, etc.

You'll learn how people communicate with each other verbally, with the written word, and through body language. You'll know how to gauge audience reactions and what they mean. You'll also become adept at creating communication. This degree will give you opportunities in business, advertising, journalism, television, education, social services, government, and more.

You will study how governments, businesses, people, and societies make choices. Not only monetary choices - other choices as well like how they spend their time or how they allocate resources. This degree can set you up for a career in business or government, or for a graduate degree in international studies, law, or public policy.

This major isn't just for Grammar Nazis - beloved though they may be. When studying English and Literature you will by association be studying history, psychology, and philosophy through the words of poets and authors. You will receive a rich education that will prepare you for careers in publishing, law, journalism, as well as teaching and writing.

Of course, you can't major in medicine alone, but you can major in a healing art like nursing, psychology, or a pre-med major like biology. The point is, you're a healer - whether it be for the mind or for the body. Nursing is a great choice because you can command a great salary doing something meaningful without the burden of medical school loans. You can also choose an area of medicine like geriatrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, etc.

Political science is perfect for analytical minds. You'll learn about statistics, history, public policy, foreign affairs and more. World politics are changing and poli-sci majors will be finding diverse opportunities after graduation. Look for career opportunities in government, law, politics, journalism, and international business.
