Fact or fiction? Major does not equal career.
Returning home for the holiday season can raise some career anxiety鈥攅specially if you are anticipating the dreaded听鈥淲hat are you going to do with听that听major?鈥 question.
One of the biggest myths still floating around is that听your major will determine your job title or career. Most majors听do not create a linear path into a specific job听鈥 instead, they have an indirect relationship with your potential career development journey. Your classes and experiential learning opportunities at 兔子先生传媒文化作品 will help shape your future听through the skills and experiences you develop.
Internships, minors, certificates, involvement in clubs, fraternities, sororities, sports, on-campus jobs, off-campus jobs, volunteer opportunities听and more all contribute holistically to your college experience and your career readiness!
Foundational skills听most coveted by employers can be developed in all majors and by all students. Learning more about which skills you enjoy using will help you narrow down career options and prepare for future work.
