Academia: Trapped by the Major Maze

Choosing a major can feel like navigating a immense ocean. With thousands potential paths, it's easy to get sidetracked. Students often battle with the pressure to select a major that will guide them to a fulfilling career, but the truth is that most students won't know exactly what they want to do for the duration of their lives.

Some students start college with a clear idea of their major, while others wander aimlessly from one course to the next.

Despite your initial selection, remember that college is a platform to discover different fields and develop your skills.
