Hey there! Choosing the right major can be a bit challenging, but don't worry, you're not alone in this. It's good that you're already thinking about it as a junior. First, consider what subjects you're passionate about and which ones you excel in. It's important to choose a major that you enjoy and can see yourself pursuing long-term. Next, do some research on potential career paths related to your interests. Look into job prospects, salary, and the level of education required for those careers. It's also helpful to talk to people who are working in the fields you're considering. They can share their experiences and give you a better idea of what to expect in that profession. Finally, remember that it's okay to change your mind later on. Many college students switch majors as they discover new interests and opportunities. Good luck on your journey!
