Step 1:
Get to Know Yourself Better
The first step in figuring out which college major or career might be right for you is understanding yourself. Think about what you like to do, what you're good at, and what kind of lifestyle you want to have. Once you develop awareness of your identities, preferences, strengths, and interests, you can learn about potential career options to inform choices in your academic life, clubs and activities, and post-high school training options.
