Career Exploration
Make sure you know what the educational requirements are for the careers you are considering. Some people think choosing a major and choosing a career are the same thing, when often they are not. Some majors can prepare you for a variety of careers and some majors are career-specific. A career- specific major results in a professional degree, which is tailored for a known career direction. However, even with a professional degree there is the opportunity to further tailor and specialize in an area of interest.
