"So what are you studying?"

You're going to be asked this question countless times over the course of your college career. Do you know what answer you want to give?

Choosing a college major both is and isn't as integral to your future career as you may think—an English major isn't necessarily going to be an English teacher, and a chemistry major isn't necessarily going off to medical school next. And did you know that, on average, college students change their major at least three times? This just increases the time you spend in school, paying tuition—not to mention increases the number of classes you may unnecessarily slog your way through.

I'll help you determine some good options, sharing my expertise gained from working in higher education, so you can feel confident when it comes time to declare your major—both officially and unofficially.
