How often did you change your major and at what point did you recognize the direction you wanted to go
I am undecided as to a major which puts a lot of pressure on me to make a choice. I don't like change so making a choice will most likely define my path which is frightening. I have watched my dad work in a profession that he felt trapped in and I don't want that to be my future. #career #career-counseling #internships #career-path #choosing-a-major #undecided

Do You Think I Should Settle or Do Something I Love?
I've been on the fence as to whether I should pursue something I love for my career, something in the arts like photography and dance, or if I should pursue a career that I can at least put up with so I can support myself enough to be able to do the things I love? I'm torn and I am horrible at making decisions so any tips or advice or anecdotes are greatly appreciated! #art #photography #undecided #dance #settle

Should I apply to the business school of my college?
Should I apply to the business school of my university or remain undecided as I enter my freshmen year of college? I am not passionate about this major but i think it is one that get me further in life. #business #undecided
I want to be in a certain career environment (entertainment/tourism), but also want to have the option of working with businesses. What type of communications degree should I choose?
I am a college freshman. I don't have a definitive answer for what I want to do for the rest of my life. A business degree has a lot of versatility and flexibility. I also want to major (or minor) in communications to compliment my business degree. By obtaining both degrees, I hope to be more marketable and well equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in the field of business. However, if I have an interest in working in an environment having to do with entertainment/ tourism, should I then get a communications degree specialized in those areas. I also have an interest in potentially working with businesses as opposed to solely entertainment as well, though. Should I simply go for the general communications degree to avoid pigeonholing myself? Should I instead go for public relations or an advertising degree? I am looking to attend Cal State Fullerton after transfer. #college #business #career #major #communications #undecided #freshman #transfer
What is the process of choosing a major?
I'm not referring to the thought process or experimentation. I'm asking what you have to do in order to declare a major. Is there an administrator who you typically speak to and declare? Can you declare mid-year? If you go in undecided, how long before you have to declare or switch? Is it the same process for major/minors? Thanks! #college-major #major #college #undecided

What would you suggest on how to choose a career for someone who isn't sure what they want to do?
I'm not entirely sure what I want to do for my career. There are so many things I enjoy doing, and a lot of things I'd like to do later in life, but not for a career. I used to want to go into game designing, or a concept artist, but I don't have a fiery passion to do either. How did you decide on your career? Did you have a talent/hobby you did since childhood, or did something come up in high school? What grade did you know what career you wanted to do? #career #career-choice #career-path #undecided

I am entering #college as an #undecided major and hope to discover new careers and narrow my list down. #career-choice
What is the best way to discover what career I am interested in during college?
I honestly have no idea what I want to do with my life, but I know there is a career out there that will be perfect for me. I just don't know how to find it. Are there certain classes I can take that will help me decide? I plan to attend UC Santa Barbara. #college #career #college-major #career-choice #college-jobs #undecided #career-plan

How do I become a data scientist? Should I join Kaggle?
How many people here are on the site because you're doing the Kaggle competition? Curious as to what cities you're from and how your profession was impacted by your college major. #college #college-major #college-major #science #undecided
How do you decide what career you want to do in the future ?
I'm a High School student, and I am undecided on what I want to do in the future, however I really love animals and ever since I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian. But as I was growing up I was interested in being an entertainment lawyer and work with the big names in the music industry. However, I am very passionate when it comes to animals and it would make me happy in the future that I am finally taking care of animals. But with the lawyer decision, people always tell me I need to be a lawyer because i'm always debating with someone about something. I am not 100% on what I want to do as a career. #college #science #law #undecided
How can I find the most suitable career for me?
I have a general grasp of my interests and hobbies, but I'm not sure how to apply that to helping me choose a career. I want a career that matches my interests as well as my values. #career-path #career-choice #undecided #career-counseling #interests
Advice for picking an undergrad major?
Hello! I am trying to pick an undergrad major, and I am very indecisive! Currently, I am looking at many majors ranging from policy to marketing. I love FASHION, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE, ACTIVISM, and PSYCHOLOGY! If anyone knows of any undergrad majors that are vague or versatile enough for me to later pursue more specific studies or jobs in the above-mentioned fields, please let me know! I would love to go to Parsons or FIT to study fashion, but I have been encouraged to keep my studies versatile until I have more experience with college internships. Thank you so much! If you know of any majors combining fashion with one of those other pursuits (psychology, environment/sustainability, etc) or other fields with high career prospects please let me know! I really appreciate it and have to make this decision ASAP. #fashion #psychology #college-major #fashion-design #college #major #fashion-design #undecided #environmentalscience #highpaying Thank you!!!
