Just remember, when you think about who you are—what you like, what your work personality is—make sure you allow yourself to be free to pick what’s best for you. When you evaluate majors and careers, you will be considering lots of different factors before you choose, but for now, just follow your interests to see where they may lead you. And if you’re not sure, that’s why Career Development Specialists are here to help you.
