[quote=Anonymous]I think most people don't know and having a firm direction at 18 is more unusual. I felt like I had to know because both my siblings had had clear direction since elementary school. Sister wanted to be a nurse and brother wanted to be a computer programmer. Both are in their 50s now and still in those careers. I ended up a business major because I took accounting in HS and thought it could be a decent career and I was good with math. But really, "business" is kind of the "undecided" major for people who don't want to say they are undecided. Fortunately, I did have the opportunity to explore a variety of options within that major and found a career path that felt like a good fit and I'm still in 30 years later. She should take a variety of classes, get involved in things on campus, make note of interesting jobs she hears about, and eventually she will figure it out.[/quote]
