Laura’s Answer

Ronel, it's great that you're thinking ahead. Luckily, you won't have to choose a major right away. Use your freshman year to take classes in human resources, finance and psychology. You will find out naturally which one inspires you the most. You may even combine two or all three in some exciting way. You can double major (human resources and psychology seems a natural combination, for example), or you can major in one and minor in another. I wanted to keep my options open as much as possible after graduation, so I did a dual major with two minors! Also, if you are thinking of getting a part-time job while being a student, choose a job that connects to your program of study. That way you will have relevant work experience upon graduating. Wishing you the very best of luck.

Also regarding your major, I would say not to stress too much yet, but when you start college within your first semester, schedule an appointment with your academic advisor and narrow down what job you want to do, what majors can help you get there, what classes will support you best, and what clubs will also help you find people in the same track.

Rithika’s Answer

Depending on your field of interest, shadowing, volunteering, or working part-time during college can be a great way to meet people in the industry. This experience helps you start building valuable connections and relationships with companies you are interested in. You can reach out to them later when opportunities arise. A helpful approach is to talk to your advisors or teachers at school. Ask if they know anyone in the field you want to explore. You've got this!
