College Majors

One challenge for all students is deciding what you want to do someday when you grow up.  For some students that means finding a job for straight out of high school that will feel rewarding and meaningful.  For others it is figuring out what you want to study in college as your major that will lead to the career you hope to pursue.  

Looking at information about different majors can be a helpful way to help inform your decisions.  Now, in saying that, I will point out that there are a lot of articles out there which put the emphasis on how much (or how little) money you will make in particular majors.  I don't think your decision should be based just on how much you will make.  For example, if you look at this article on the 10 majors with the highest starting salaries for college graduates, you will see that they are all VERY heavy in math, science, and engineering fields.  If you are a student who doesn't like those fields, you shouldn't pick those majors just because it will have a higher salary.  You need to find majors and careers that will both meet your financial stability needs in the future as well as be fulfilling and enjoyable to you.

The US News Guide to College Majors also includes a highest/ lowest starting salaries list, but it also features a majors quiz and some other tools and resources for investingating potential college majors that may be interesting for you.

Maybe during break you can spend some time exploring information about majors to see if any sound appealing to you.
