It's finally time! Gone are the years of school where every day was a drag. It’s time for you to move on to the next chapter of your life.
To go to university you need to pick a major (and sometimes and minor too). We have outlined six unique ways to help you figure out your university major.
Assess your strengths and weaknesses
Get a pen and piece of paper and write down a list of interests and also make a list of things you feel like you aren’t the best at and would rather avoid. This write here really wanted to be a doctor, but the skills gap was just too unrealistic so I had to make a tough call, but hey its for the best.
Figure out your long-term goals
What do you want to do with your life? Who do you want to be? How should people remember you? These are all things you need to consider when assessing your long term career goals. Are you motivated by money? You may want to check out some of these majors Are you motivated by helping people? You should consider psychology or medicine. Are you more very creative with a dash of interest in technology? Marketing might be for you. Or are you good with numbers, maybe even with some interest in the natural order? You may want to consider being a physicist or an accountant (They aren’t THATTT boring).
