I'm a marketing major in my 3rd year - but I loved my accounting class! How do I know which to major in?
I am currently a third year student in marketing. I switched to marketing at the beginning of my third year, so the business classes were knew to me. I will be graduating late. I took accounting 1 this fall and I absolutely loved it - which is weird for me to say. I didn't know anything about accounting before this class, so I thought I was going to dread it. It ended up being really "easy" for me since I enjoyed figuring the problems out and didn't mind studying. This was my first college class that I felt this way about. It is making me want to switch my major to accounting. Although, I haven't taken any marketing classes yet. I enjoy marketing partly because I enjoy the free range of job opportunities after undergrad. I like that it is creative and has endless job opportunities that don't all involve a job in a cubicle. I was looking for advice on this decision I have. I definitely need to shadow people in accounting and in marketing, but was also looking for advice on here from anyone! #major #business #college #advisor #accounting #marketing #career #advice #majors #jobs
What advice do you have for someone like me? What steps should I take for a better future?
Hi, my name is Mary J, and I am a freshman at Florida State College at Jacksonville. I am in the process of completing my Associate's Degree before attempting a four-year degree. Being the first college student in my family and coming from a different country. I have found it difficult to complete simple things like my FASFA and asking my parents for college advice. I am at the most important part of my life, and I want to take every precaution and every opportunity that is out there for me and other kids around my age. Not being able to decide on a career has put me in a position where it feels like the future is coming too quickly. What advice do you have for someone like me? What steps should I take for a better future? #career #major #school #advice

Is electrical engineering right for me?
Hello! I'm a high school senior applying for college, and I know I want to do engineering but I'm still a bit unsure about what type to apply for. I was considering Electrical Engineering because the classes sound interesting and I've read up on a couple topics independently because of that, but I'm afraid I don't really know what they're like -- I've taken AP Physics 2 but not AP Physics C, and I really don't know much about hardware in electronics. I'm also not the time to take things apart and put them together, but I'm still interested in math/science as well as problem solving. I just want to know if choosing EE as a major could work out, or if there is a better option for someone like me. Thank you! #ee #electrical-engineering #high-school #college #engineering #tech #technology #major #electrical #college-majors

Major Advice
I have attended two years of college( I go to MSUM), but right now I'm taking some time off to figure out the right major. I'd like to be in a field that focuses on helping others, but don't really want to be a nurse. I enjoy science, and learning about the brain, and find myself drawn to learning about human nature. I thrive off of helping others, and want to become someone who can assist people from other countries and cultures. I somehow want to combine my passion for science and my love of helping people and other cultures. Otherwise, I was thinking about getting a neurology or neuropsychology degree. So I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get help finding a major for some of the things listed earlier, or if I should pursue neurology(which might not be the best idea because I'm pretty subpar at math). #major
I'm thinking that I want to study something more technical in university (next fall), but I don't know how to choose a more specific topic
Whenever I mention this, people sort of assume I'm looking for a pure hard science like just chemistry or just math or they assume Engineering, which I know is a very broad topic. How do I narrow it down to a more specific field? Has anyone had this problem and had a good method for finding out what the liked? #major #university #undecided
