Is it difficult to do well in an engineering major in college without any background experience?
I didn't participate in a robotics club or activities that involved designing and building anything, but I am a bit curious to explore it in college because I am undecided in what I want to pursue. Will it be difficult to catch up in college without any background knowledge or experience? Also, what are some good ways to explore the field by myself? #engineering #major #extraccuriculars

Feeling indecisive-how'd you decide on your major?
I'm basically torn between graphic design, culinary arts and nutrition. My college doesn't offer minors. Since I took graphic design at vocational school and liked it pretty well, I'm thinking about continuing and learning more. But realistically, I don't do as much drawing as I used to, although I consider myself a very creative person. Culinary Arts sounded nice; I'm pretty interested in cooking because it combines world culture and art. But while cooking is fun, I'm pretty rusty, and I get scared off by things like heat and oil. I'm more drawn to cooking my favorite things, and I think at the end of the day I'm more of a baking person. The sound of being a line cook, cooking the same things over and over at rapid speed sounds off-putting. I like the sound of nutrition because while it has to do with food, it's not all about cooking. I find it neat that an every day, delicious thing like food can basically be your medicine, and that could give me a chance to help people. I'd have to take liberal arts first since they don't actually offer nutrition at my college(I'm starting at community college and then transferring). I know I could probably take liberal arts anyway and explore what I really like, but ahh, the other options are appealing. Liberal arts would cut out culinary arts because here in Maine there aren't any 4 year culinary programs. Along with being creative, I love foreign cultures, being hands- on, expressing myself, helping others and making them feel good. How'd you decide? It's almost the start of school and I should really make up my mind! #school #majors #major #college #nutrition #culinaryarts #graphic-design

What major is most helpful when going into the veterinary field?
Hello, I'm a rising senior and want to become a veterinary surgeon. My only issue is that I don't know for certain if Animal Science is the very best major to graduate with if I plan on going to veterinary school. I've eliminated so many college choices because they didn't offer Animal Science as a major, and I want to confirm that it's the most helpful. Thanks! #college-majors #major #college

Linguistic majors with bachelor's degrees, what struggles did you face once you tried to enter the workforce?
I'm considering pursuing a Linguistics major for my BA. I've read that it's quite hard to get a job unless you also have Computer Science minor/double major paired with Linguistics, which isn't quite my plan, though I'm considering pairing Linguistics with CS if it becomes clear that pursuing Linguistics alone is worthless. So, for those who have majored in Linguistics, what are some future struggles to be aware of? Is Linguistics worth pursuing if I don't get involved with Computer Science? #college #bachelors #Computer Science #CSMajor #LingusticsMajor #BA #CS #Linguistics #struggles #work #future #job #major #in #linguistics

How do you decide when you want your job to be your career?
I'm going into college and I know that I want to major in biology, but I'm not too sure beyond that. I want to be able to try out different things through internships and maybe part time jobs in school and during grad school after that, but I don't think that even in five or six years from now I'm going to be able to decide on something that I will still enjoy when I'm 50. Were you successful in making that kind of choice, or did you have a major career change before then? #major #career #career-choice
