How do you know if the major you chose is right for you and you are pursuing the right path throughout college?
I will be attending Miami University in the fall of 2026 and am going in as an international studies major. I have always had a fascination with cultures and I want to expand my knowledge and possibly find a career related to that field, but I am not sure if it is the right path and if there will be enough career options in relation to my major when I graduate. I have though about pursuing a pre-law track to feel more comfortable about my options after my Bachelors, but I am not sure if that is the path I want to pursue. How long can I be thinking about this before I should have a more set path with my major or the path to my career? How do I know if it's the right choice if I do not have a set career aspiration?
Best CA colleges for pre-law/Political Science undergrad?
