What did you do to discern what career to pursue?
I’m a high school senior, and I’m currently undecided on what major to pursue in college. I’ve always loved playing guitar and singing, but I’m unsure if this will be a secure career for me if I’d also like to attend college. So I’ve looked to engineering, even though the most engineering I’ve done was during middle school. I’ve looked into sound engineering and also I’ve gotten curious about biomedical engineering, because I think it’d be cool to program robots or design new tech in the medical field. I just want to have a stable career after college, so I want to make sure I choose a major that I’ll love but will also grant me financial security.
