Making career decisions is a lifelong process. After completing self-assessment inventories and researching possible options, you may be ready to make a decision about your major and/or career. Piece together the information you’ve gathered to answer the following questions:
- Are the career/major options you identified compatible with your interests, personality, skills, and values?
- What do you like and dislike about each major/career option?
- What are the degree requirements for each major? Do the courses and requirements interest you?
- Do you need to do some more exploring or meet with your adviser to help sift through the information? Or, are you ready to make a decision?
Once you’ve made a decision, it’s important to set goals that will help you achieve your desired outcomes. Get started now using the SMART formula.
