How to Choose a Major

After graduating from high school, many people prefer to continue their study in a university rather than to search for a job. While some of them have decided which major to choose, there are still many people who are still confused or haven’t decided which major they would take for continuing their study in the college. Deciding which major we choose is a very important thing to do when we want to continue our study in a college, because it will affect our life as a college student as well as our future. Many people are having difficulties in choosing what major to take, in fact deciding which major to take can be done by two simple steps.

               The first and the most important step is find and determine your passion. It can be done by asking other people, conduct personality test, and many other methods. In choosing a major, it will be better if the major is the same or at least connected with our passion. We have to know what we are interested in, because when we are interested in something, we usually will be pleased to learn about it. Knowing our passion is the most important thing to do when we want to choose our major, and even if we only have very little knowledge in that area, it is not a big problem. Because we will try to improve our knowledge. Avoid choosing a major what we have a little interest in. Sometimes parents want their child to choose a certain major just for prestige even though the child doesn’t like it. The best solution is try to talk to the parents and explain to them about it. If we choose a major that we have little or no interest of it, it will be difficult for us to learn

               Next, when choosing our major, think about the future. Job opportunities is one of the thing that we must consider. Try to visualize what the world will be like when we graduate from college and try to get job, whether there will be many job opportunities or not. After we graduate from college we will have to work to feed our family, so when there is big probability that it is difficult to find the job, try to find another major which has better job opportunities in the future. Beside job opportunities, think about what we can do in the future that makes human’s life better with our knowledge. This can motivates us when we feel bored.

               As passion and the future is a very important thing to consider when we choose our major, by considering our passion and the future, we will have less problem than when we choose our major without thinking about it. By choosing a major that matches our passion, it helps us to deal with any problem whenever they come in our way.
