This document provides guidance on choosing a college major and planning your career path. It advises students not to panic if they are unsure of their major when starting college. Many students change majors one or more times during their college career. The document outlines four steps to discover the ideal career path: 1) Self-assess your interests and what motivates you, 2) Examine your skills and strengths, 3) Consider your values and what you want in work, 4) Research specific careers using available resources. Taking time with each step can help focus your options and reduce anxiety about the major and career choice process.

MAJOR:
HOW TO PLAN YOUR BEST
TRACK

2. DON'T PANIC.
It is easy to say but difficult to do, but I can't tell you how many
students I have counselled since the time that I have been a Lecturer
that look in a state of panic if they are ambiguous of their major, let
alone a profession.
Decide on a major, thinking about a career, getting an education --
these are the Things College is all about. Yes, there are some
students who reach on campus and know accurately their major and
career determinations, but the majority of students do not, thus there
is no requirement to rush into a choice about your major as soon as
you step on campus.
And suppose what? A large number of students in all colleges and
universities change their major at least once in their college life; and
many change their major several times over the stay in their college
career.
