As someone that is undecided about what to study in college, what tips are there for finding an interest that balances personal happiness and economic confort?

What would you recommend to make the transition from college to career easier?

It's hard to know what will help you get a real world job and experience and things to help get you hired. The only advise I have gotten so far is internships but is that the only thing? #career #career-change #career-plan
