Connecting Majors to Careers
Students struggle with this question every day. In reality, some individuals will work in an occupation directly related to their major, while others will find employment simply because they are college-educated. It is important to remember that your future occupation may relate more to your personal career interests, work values and skills than any specific academic major. This means that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields.Helpful links:
