Kevin’s Answer

Your undergraduate degree can give you more information on certain fields the degree can lead you into, but you should not solely rely on that. What I mean by that is there is a lot more that goes on outside of your coursework and while it's best to gain information through your classes at first, but you should also consider doing research and connecting with people outside of your classes.

Your degree will not determine which job you get when you're done, you still have the opportunity to switch careers and even get a dream job that is unrelated to your major. Choose a major you find interesting and feel you can learn from, use that to branch out and talk to people that graduated with the same major or are in working in a job you are interested in. The more you know and the more people you talk to (even college advisors/counselors, other students, and professors) will give you a better sense of your career path.

You'll be learning something new regardless if it's through your major or classes, use that to see where your interests are. You can achieve your dream job through many outlets and should never feel trapped by your degree!

Steven’s Answer

Your University degree is really only the start of your search.  In College, you will take courses that gives you a background in fields of study you are initially interested in.  Once you attain your degree, you will look for a job in this particular field.  From this point, you will then grow as a person, learning about your career and possibly others that will help you focus on what a dream career will look like and what work would fulfill your passion.  It's always a winding road, but one full of discovery.  Best of luck.

Amy’s Answer

A college education, no matter what the subject, provides an individual many valuable resources towards having a dream career. Learning how to follow-thru on class requirements, being responsible for your classes and grades yourself, learning from others experience, and maturity to grow your knowledge into a career. Keep in mind that a dream career may take a few detours and bumps in the road, but stay focused, keep engaged in your vision for your life, and strive for that job experience that you will love!

John’s Answer

Your University degree will expose you to different classes and ideas. Find what interests you and the jobs in those fields will follow. If you don't know what your dream career is take the time in college to try a bunch of different things. Once you find what you like go for it.
