Ashish’s Answer

Choosing a major is important, but it doesn’t determine your entire career. Many people end up working in fields that are different from what they studied. Instead of focusing only on your major, focus on building skills that employers value.

Ask yourself:

What subjects or activities do you genuinely enjoy?
What type of work do you see yourself doing in the next 5–10 years?
What industries are growing and align with your interests?

No matter what major you choose, develop practical skills alongside it. Learn tools like Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Google Workspace, and basic data analysis. In today’s job market, having knowledge of AI tools, communication skills, problem-solving, and teamwork can make you stand out.

Don’t be afraid if you’re unsure about your future. It’s normal to change directions as you gain experience. Keep learning, take internships, earn certifications, and build projects that strengthen your resume. Continuous learning and adaptability are often more valuable than the name of your degree.

The best major is one that matches both your interests and your long-term goals while giving you opportunities to keep growing.

Ashish recommends the following next steps:

Research careers that interest you and the skills they require.
Talk to professionals or mentors in those fields.
Take online courses and internships to gain practical experience.

Emily’s Answer

After high school, I wanted to work in healthcare, so I started at a community college and earned an Associate's Degree. To get a job in the field, I went back to school for a degree in Medical Assisting, which helped me get certified and find a job right after my externship. I then pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Healthcare Administration because I aimed to grow as a leader in healthcare. After working in healthcare administration for 10 years, I decided to switch to IT. Even though I didn't have an IT-specific degree, I taught myself and completed an 8-month community college program to get a post-bachelor's certificate in project management. This prepared me for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification. With the certification, I was able to show my skills in project management and land my current job in IT.

It's important to think about what truly interests you. A job is more enjoyable when you love what you do. Look into local or online opportunities to learn more about your interest. If it keeps you excited, consider getting a degree that will help build your career. Remember, you don't always need a specialized degree to start in your chosen field. Sometimes a general degree like Business Administration is enough. Check out companies that interest you and look at their job postings to see what qualifications they require. This can guide you on your next steps and help you work towards your goals.

Ilan’s Answer

Hi Noadia,

I majored in business management, but was planning to go to law school either way, so I am currently not utilizing my college major as I am not working in that field.
I would strongly advise you update your skills, maybe learn more about AI and other utilized technologies as proficiency in Microsoft Suite, and Google Sheets is not considered a skill anymore as it is now expected by everyone to just know how to use powerpoint, word, and at least the basics of excel.

I am not sure if you are looking for advice as to what major to do based on your current skills or just a general question, but I would advise to not base your major on your current skills as those can always be improved, new skills can be learned, and you can always change what you want to do.

I would tell you to first figure out what you like/dislike. Think over what you see yourself doing in the future, figure out what skills and requirements are needed for such future to be achieved and then learn these skills.
It might not be easy, as some skills are really hard to get but others might be easier. If you have a goal, the volution to want to achieve it, I am sure that nothing will hold you back from it.

I hope this help!

Good luck!

Brandon ’s Answer

My degree was in Culture, Literature, and the Arts. At first I wanted to be a teacher, but I heavily thought about it and decided against it (also this was during the Covid-19 pandemic so I had a lot of time to think about it). Do I regret getting this degree versus trying to learn possible other degrees. Not really. It is a tough job market to do anything so a lot of people, even the most qualified people struggle to get a job.
Thank you comment icon Thank you!But I would like to know why did you choose that major? Noadia
