do you have any difficult iin decid your major?
how did you decide your major?
i decide my major by myself
i study english very well and i like it very much
so i choose english as my major in college
now in my working
i used english everyday
it is enjoyable for me
this year, i come cross gri english in interenet
it is really good
but i have a friend
she had no idea for her major decision at that time just talking my teacher's opinio as guildance after ong timeworking experiences
i think time major is not the most importnt thing to us and i do not regret about my decision on the major choice
keping good habit of studying in university is the key aspect
but when i made my first major,
i made my fist major by myself
but it is not my favourite
i choose my major finance on the purpose of money
but i am very regretful now
finance is related to money
if one choose what he like
his vhoice is right while one choose whathe dislike he's choosen failture
many people think if they choose finance
they choose money and can get a lot

First I thought about what I want to do for the rest of my life. While I dont know specifically where I want to end up, I know for a while I want to be a detective and possibly try to work for the FBI or Secret Service. I then looked at what was required to get into these jobs and then found majors that met those requirements. Now I'm studying Criminology and Criminal Justice. Once I have my degree, there are numerous related fields can go into.
In short, think of what you want to do and what you'll need to do it. Dont choose just because it might be easy or youll make a lot of money later in life, be sure you love what you're doing.

I didn't decide the major that I took actually though I must admit I really enjoyed studying it. I wanted to took up Engineering but the admission was already closed. When I went to the nearby school, Accountancy is still being offered and it's their specialty. That is why I took up Accountancy.
During my last year in high school, we took up a test to know which field we should study in college and my 1st choice is actually accounting.
I came to love accountancy but I wasn't really planning on taking it up.

Choosing a major can definitely be difficult, but in the long run I think it's more important to pick something you enjoy, as long as it has real-world value so you don't waste years of schooling for naught. Going in thinking purely "What will make me loads of money" can be draining on anyone who can't devote themselves to a task they don't particularly enjoy (ie, most of us). Money is great, don't get me wrong, but a life of loveless toil will put you in a grave too early to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I spent a couple years taking a variety of courses to help me determine what I wanted to major in. I ended up meeting a professor who brought her life experience to the subject she taught, and thus showed me a world I wanted to be a part of. One random class became the basis for my study now. I think if a student is entirely lost, taking time to explore a number of different avenues can be a valuable experience. Talking to a lot of people with similar interests can also lead one to an unexpected discovery.
