So I am in my second year of college and I am in the school of business, however, I do not know what major to choose. I am doing okay in my classes but I do not know what I want to do in life or what is right for me. Some things about me: I love media, I love fashion and girly things, I like making projects and designing power-points, I am pretty artistic, I like social media and I am great with using technology, I am a good writer, and I like listening to stories and current news. I know those are pretty random but do you have any ideas on what would be a good major for me? Thank you!
Communications major comes to mind…
Some ideas on picking majors:
-
Go to your college’s career center or HS Guidance Office and talk to them. They may have tests/tools that help you figure out what career (and therefore major) is best for you)
-
What classes do you prefer? Science/Math? English/History?
-
Take an online quiz…there are many

Talk to the professor/teacher in your favorite class and see what they think
-
Pre-med/sociology/public health/psychology are majors where you want to help people directly.
Business/engineering/comp sci are majors where you want to solve technical/organizational problems.
Which is more appealing to you?
Those are great skills for any number of careers! Take a look at marketing, advertising, integrated communications, public relations, communication majors. Try to get some internships (even on campus or unpaid) and build a portfolio of your social media campaigns etc.
