Watch the job market<br />
Whom are companies trying to<br />
hire most? For instance, if you see<br />
postings everywhere for data<br />
scientists, artificial intelligence (AI)<br />
specialists or user interface/user<br />
experience (UI/UX) designers, and<br />
those disciplines intrigue you, looking<br />
at computer science study programs<br />
can be a great way to start.<br />
Money matters<br />
How much will you need to earn<br />
post-college to meet your financial<br />
obligations? A lot of information is<br />
available online about average<br />
salaries and expected growth for<br />
jobs in specific fields. So do your<br />
research and keep money in mind<br />
as you make your pick.<br />
Look at location<br />
Do you aspire to be a professor?<br />
Remember that choice professorships<br />
can be rare and competitive,<br />
and may require you to move far<br />
away from home. Or think of<br />
opportunities close to home. Is your<br />
home city a hub for clean energy<br />
start-ups, for instance? If so, perhaps<br />
a major in business, environmental<br />
engineering or design could set you<br />
up for success when it comes to<br />
landing a great job nearby.<br />
Get inspired<br />
Choose a major that excites you.<br />
The more inspired you are to learn,<br />
the more you’ll get out of your<br />
studies and the better prepared<br />
you’ll be to launch a successful<br />
career.<br />
The following pages will explore<br />
some majors and the associated<br />
career options that you can pursue.<br />
