How do you get over your fear of going into a career that is not necessarily "secure" or a safe route, because it has to do with so much networking?

Where is the best place to buy college textbooks?

I know amazon prime is a good online access to everything to buy. Should I buy it in person to make sure it is in good condition? I have also heard about websites that sell used textbooks? Is that trustworthy? Is buying a used textbook worth it?

In a job interview, it seems hard to talk about how great you are without seeming like a braggart. How do you promote yourself without coming across as conceited or pompous?

I've only had a few job interviews and struggle with this aspect of the process.

Is it better to have a major set in your mind when you enter College or keep it as undecided until you've taken a few different classes?

Some college reps have said that keeping your major undecided is better and I just want to know if thats true.
