Hello! My advice is to find something you enjoy, it could be cooking, fixing cars, programming, or teaching. Think about making money from something fun, so your job feels more like a hobby than an obligation. Good luck!

Choose something you truly enjoy. For instance, if you don't like working with numbers, engineering might not be the best fit for you.
However, there are many exciting opportunities in various fields of engineering—like mechanical, industrial, or computer—and in anything related to AI.

Hello, Seeker !
Well, there are no majors that will make it "easy" to get a job. That is not how careers are built.
If you are that concerned about the education and career going 100% smoothly and easy, you will need to obtain more personal growth and life experience before discovering your life's calling. You don't have to choose a career right now. Many people just let life take it's course and get inspired for a career along the way.
Often times I wonder when students have the idea that they want things to be easy, quick and assured of what will happen in their future. I think this mindset comes from their environment, who they observe and students must realize that their life is not going to be the same as other people's. There's great opportunity out there if one is willing to be focused, dedicate time and energy and sincerely enjoy being involved with people and activities.
People take a process to obtain their chosen career. The first step is to choose the career and that's when you'd know what to major in. The major doesn't come first. Also, you have to come to terms with the idea that your future is in your own hands and no one can foretell how your life will be. It's all a process based on the choices you alone make.
If you haven't chosen a career yet, that is perfectly okay. Don't push it because others know their career or someone tells you to choose a career now. Do not feel left out or behind if you have not been inspired yet. Different things happen for different people at all various times, so it's not an issue to worry about. If it's that a teacher is asking you to write an essay about your future career, write the essay with the theme that you haven't chosen the career yet and discuss people's careers that you know that you are inspired by. The weird thing is, you may not even choose a traditional career, some get married, raise children and manage a household. Yes, that's still being done.
Things such as careers, interests, favorite activities, hobbies are all very personal things that a person needs to choose for themselves by actually experiencing things or being inspired. It may help you to become active with volunteer work and groups at your school. The more you do, the more you learn about yourself and it's actually a fun journey !
Try to relax about the future but realize that you are not alone. Many students want to know their futures. Once you take active steps to learn what you want, it will become more real to you.
So, give yourself some time to really focus on the content of the work, the real requirements for the career and you'll discover the best way to start the education for a career that you are certain of. Best wishes to you !

The ease of finding a job really depends on a combination of factors like the job market, your skills, and the specific industry you're interested in. However, some majors tend to have a higher demand in the job market, such as:
Computer Science/Software Engineering: With the rapid growth of tech, there’s a huge demand for software developers, data analysts, AI specialists, and cybersecurity experts.
Nursing/Healthcare: The healthcare industry is always in need of professionals, especially as populations age and medical technology advances.
Engineering (various fields like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical): Engineers are in demand globally for infrastructure projects, tech developments, and environmental sustainability.
Business/Finance: Majors in business, finance, or economics often have a wide range of job opportunities in areas like marketing, consulting, banking, and entrepreneurship.
That said, it's not just about the major itself but also about your skills, networking, and how proactive you are in seeking opportunities. Many students find great jobs even in fields that might not traditionally be seen as 'easy' to find work in by gaining specialized skills or experiences through internships and personal projects.
Make sure to choose something that you are passionate about, because that will keep you motivated in the long run and open up more opportunities in the future!

I agree—there’s really no major that guarantees an “easy” path to a job. Personally, I studied Public Relations and Journalism for my BA. But when I graduated, the job market wasn’t in great shape, so I pivoted into sales and marketing at a local IT firm. I've been in that field ever since. I believe the key is to keep exploring. Don’t get too fixated on just one type of work—stay open to opportunities that come your way.
Good Luck :)

I believe computer science is a good choice. Once you graduate, you can work as a programmer or software engineer. The good thing about this field is that it's easy to find a job, and the pay is good. However, you might need to keep learning new things and change jobs often.

I agree with others who have suggested you find something you love. Perhaps you can think about what jobs / fields excite you and talk to professionals who have that job to understand the best steps to enter the field, what types of job openings there are, what an entry level position looks like, etc..
