[quote=Anonymous]I had a DS who was this as a freshman, and I assured him he didn’t have to have it all figured out this early. Take a variety of classes to see what sparks your interest, as well as finding out what you’re good at (as a PP mentioned, passion doesn’t usually pay the bills). I also told him that if he needed to stay on college for an additional semester, or even a year we fortunately had the money to pay for that. My DS narrowed his focus a bit by the time he was starting his sophomore year, and then it was in his spring of sophomore year that he decided on a firm major. Another suggestion is next semester, if her college has one, go to the career fair. Talk to some people there and get an idea of what all is out there. There’s so many careers people don’t even know about. I would just continue to let her know it’s perfectly fine to not know definitively now! Think of how many people are in jobs/careers that have nothing to do with their majors. [/quote]
