Picking Your Major
June 12th 2007 12:09
This may be somewhat late if you're an incoming freshman, or maybe just a little early if you're going to be a high school senior in the fall. Either way, it could still help. It's not like you can't change your major!
I got this in an email and thought I would share it with you. Some questions from a FastWeb article that say they should help you figure out what you “were born to do.”
1. What subjects do you most enjoy reading about?
2. What television or radio programs do you most enjoy?
3. What are your favorite types of movies?
4. What are your favorite hobbies or pastimes?
5. What type of volunteer activities do you prefer?
6. What subjects do you enjoy discussing with friends?
7. What subjects come to mind when you daydream?
8. What have been your favorite jobs?
9. What were your favorite school subjects?
10. What are your pet peeves?
11. If you doodle, what do you often draw?
12. If you ran the world, what changes would you make?
13. If you won a million bucks, what would you do with it?
14. What are your favorite kinds of people?
15. How would you like to be remembered after your death?
16. What are your favorite toys?
17. How would you describe your political beliefs?
18. Who do you most admire in life and why?
19. What tasks have brought you the most success?
20. What tasks do you think you could do well that you haven't yet done?
After you have the answers, you’re supposed to examine them and see if there are any patterns or anything that can be related to a college program.
Hopefully they can help you figure out what to major in if you are not quite sure yet.
I’m not exactly sure how some of the questions fit in (what do you draw??) but maybe that’s why I changed my major five times! Ha!
Resume tips, job searches and other such things besides this are some of the stuff you will find on fastweb.com besides all the scholarships. Some of it can be pretty helpful, which is just another advantage of signing up for FastWeb; (I listed it in the scholarship searches post).
