Why Does Choosing a College Major Seem So Overwhelming?
There are increasingly more opportunities, more jobs, more college majors appearing every year. As a student in high school or college, you might find yourself as I did: avoiding the decision because you feel so overwhelmed. That’s why I spent 2 years in college with the dreaded “Undecided” major!
You might be also be a student that tries to quickly select a career to eliminate anxiety and confusion. It can feel reassuring to be able to answer the dreaded question: “What major are you choosing?” However…
One study revealed that 70% of students change majors at least once during college.
Even if you have selected a primary course of study, you can gain assurance that you are studying a field suited to your talent.
