Christoph’s Answer

Follow your passion and be creative. I was a theatre major and I use what I learned in theatre more than anything else. If you have a passion for a particular field then follow it. Passion means that you are more likely to strive post college. Creative thinking can help implement your education in any job and life.
I knew that I learned to talk, understand and relate to people, cultures and demographics in a way that would give me the edge and drive business for any marketing company. I learned to listen effectively and then adapt to exceed my objectives.
*Keep in mind it is not just what you learn in the classroom that helps you grow. It is interacting with your classmates, participating in opportunities during college that can really help focus or broaden your possibilities.

Hi Luchia, if you're in a University already, they should be able to provide you with this answer. However, if you're in engineering, you should be golden. Last but not least, if you go to Google they have a Google trends feature to get some additional insight to what you're actually studying. Hope this helps.

Hi Luchia Z. I see that you posted this question a little while ago so I hope my answer to you (or others who may read this response) is still helpful.

In finding out whether or not there are available jobs for what you are studying, it likely will require doing research before you declare a major, during your course of study and after you have graduated...seems like a lot...but these constant touchpoints help you to understand where companies are headed and what type of workers (and skill sets) they need.

It has been some time since I graduated from college but I share that the good news is, as I do my own research from time to time, I have yet to see where jobs that included relevant technological elements are low on the "available jobs list". Said another way, my experience tells me that keeping abreast of what is happening with jobs can be your best thermometer on understanding how/if what you are studying can work on gaining available jobs not only today but into the future.

Hope you find this answer helpful. Best of luck to you!
