<p>I'm a sophomore at a liberal arts college and I'm an undecided major. I have talked to our Career Resource Center many times my freshmen year. I changed majors seven times since being on campus. Those majors are; Accounting, Exercise Science, Business Admin, Marketing, Biology, Public Relations/Communications, and Education. What should I do to help find a career/major?</p>
<p>Why have you changed majors so many times? Do you go to the Career Center and every time you hear something that sounds good you change? What have they told you at the Carreer Center? Have you really given any of those majors a real chance? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What are your interests outside of a job? Have you taken the Briggs-Meyer test which may help you identify areas that may fit your personality?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the reply. One of my problems is when someone tells me I would be good at something I want to do it. Since I have no idea what I want when someone suggest something they help me decide because I can’t. Honestly, I go to the Career Center every time someone tells me a career they think I would be good at and I change my major. All of those majors I have taken classes in besides Marketing. Marketing I had an internship and really didn’t like it at all. Well, some of my strengths I think I’m hard-worker, a leader, and outgoing. I am also very optimistic. Some of my weaknesses are being indecisive, impatient, overly critical of myself, and I ask a lot of questions (not sure if good or bad). Some of my interest are soccer, tennis, running, video games, musicals, and reading. I took the Briggs-Meyer test at the Career Center and I got ENTJ.</p>
<p>John, asking questions is good. I think what you need to do is evaluate answers before acting. Your majors do seem to coincide with your BM personality type. So what you want to do is start breaking things down. For example, you have Business, Science, and Education as major categories. After that you start breaking the categories down. Business - accounting, marketing (sales, advetising, Public relations etc). Education - do you want to teach college (which would require a PhD) or high school; do you want to be an administrator (which could also involve extra study after the BS or BA degree). Science - do I want to work in a lab or in a hospital setting (in the case of exercise science); will you need an advanced degree (for biology most likely; for exercise science you may want to become a physical therapist). So you start doing that and hopefully you will find an answer. Then, once you make a decision, stick with it. And to be honest, after you start working you might change your direction. I have a couple times.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>
