Hey folks, I'm a high schooler looking for websites that provide information about different college majors. Any recommendations?
Hello! There are several online resources that can help you explore different college majors.
1. College Board's "Big Future" site offers a "Major and Career Search" tool where you can learn about different majors and see which colleges offer them.
2. CollegeVine has a "Majors" database that offers details about a variety of majors and potential career paths associated with them.
3. Another resource is the Occupational Outlook Handbook from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which gives detailed information about the nature of work, working conditions, training and education needed, earnings, and job outlook for hundreds of different types of jobs.
4. Another site to consider is "What Can I Do With This Major?" which outlines common career areas for different majors, types of employers that tend to hire in these fields, and strategies to make yourself a more marketable candidate.
Just remember, a major doesn't always directly translate to a career. Many professionals end up working in fields that aren't directly related to their major. So it's equally important to consider what you're passionate about and where your skills lie. Good luck!
