The Major Dilemma... moving from your undecided status
Ever feel like you are the only one "unattached to a field of study"? Sometimes it's as though you have no identity!  Well, take heart. You are not the only one with this problem. In fact, research shows that being undecided about educational and career goals is a common problem of college students. Some sources indicate that nearly half of the students that start college nationwide change their major at least once. Some students make numerous changes. Often, however, that research is of little consolation to the student "unattached" to a field of study.

So, what can you do?
Begin with a positive attitude.
College is a great time of discovery and most students - decided or undecided - have much to learn and discover about their values, skills, goals, interests, and personality. If you want to make a wise choice regarding a future career path, knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and preferences is fundamental.

Career Development staff can offer a number of strategies to assist you in this process as well as guide you in exploring and analyzing compatible occupational paths. Be sure to make an appointment with a counselor to talk over some steps you can take to discover yourself and the world of work.
