What should I do in this situation?
I am currently a Junior in high school, and I still don't know what major I want to pursue once I get to college. Right now, I'm not really sure anymore whether I still want to learn photography.

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you can find out career you have interest.
Below are my suggestions :
1. If you have interest in Photography, would you have interest to become a Photographer, Journalist, Media Content Creator, Youtuber, etc. You can find out more related careers online
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in the careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges or vocational schools
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hi, Yiyin, and thank you for your question. Don't worry about not knowing your college major yet. You could apply to many colleges without declaring a major; even if you do declare then, you could usually change until the 2nd semester of your 2nd year. So you still have time to decide.
In the meantime, there are steps you can take to inform your decision, such as:
- write a list of majors that might interest you, including what attracts you to them and what questions you have (writing will help you organize your thoughts)
- sharing your thoughts with adults you know and trust to get their insights
- using resources at your school and through the College Board to identify potential majors
- doing photography (maybe for the school newspaper or yearbook or a free-standing club) both to gain experience and build a portfolio and see if it interests you enough to be a major
- research photography jobs to see if that is a good fit
I hope these ideas help and wish you good luck!
