If you're like most high school seniors, you probably don't really know what you want to do for the rest of your life. Perhaps your talents are in the sciences or maybe foreign languages, but what are you supposed to do with those majors? At least one person thinks that as long as you study what you love, the rest will follow. You'll develop the soft-skills that most employers are looking for - things like time management, teamwork, and the ability to work independently.
Looking back on his early college life, another former college freshmen offers perspective on what he wish he'd known back then. His ideas are also worth considering as you start your senior year in high school.
But let's talk about a few specific careers. Perhaps you've always thought you would be a lawyer. Some people have said that the current market for attorneys is not that great, so is law school worth it? There are things you should consider before making the leap into law school.
Maybe you fall in that undecided career category, but you know you like technology. Read this college student's (and computer science major) reasons why studying the computer science is a worthwhile major. Or you could just go talk to Ms. Pala!
Finally, you've probably heard that journalism is a major on the decline, or at the very least newspapers are a thing of the past. Not so, says this recent article. Although only a slight improvement, the future for journalists is not as bleak as you may believe.
We'll be posting more career ideas for you to think about, so stay tuned.
