<p>If the student or parents have concerns about post graduation job or graduate school placement, going to the career center and asking about what employers come to recruit students in the prospective major and what the placement rates of recent graduates in the prospective major would be something to do, at least if the information is not publicly available on the web site.</p>
<p>If graduate school in an academic subject is under consideration, a stop at the department of the prospective major to ask about graduate school preparation and placement may be in order.</p>
<p>If professional school (e.g. law, medicine) is under consideration, a stop at wherever the pre-professional-school advising office to ask about advising resources and placement rates may be in order.</p>
