1st Timer Here...In Information Overload! How to begin?
#5
:iagree: with Burbuja, the first choice I made (and it took a little soul-searching) was what my major would be. My advice on choosing a major is to select one based on what you enjoy doing now, NOT based on what you think you will enjoy doing long-term. The reason I say this is that most people end up working in a field that's unrelated to their major. You might as well enjoy the process of getting your degree, so choose a field of study that your passionate about.
I have always enjoyed business/entrepreneurship, science/engineering, music/composition, and theology/philosophy. Science/engineering degrees are pretty intense, and I didn't want to put that much time and effort into a degree Smile. For me, the hardest choice was between business and theology! Just goes to show how subjective this process really is. The practical value of a business degree won out in the end Rolleyes.
Good luck!
