Now that your student has completed the fall semester, changing majors
may be on their mind. This often creates worry and concern for both you
and your student. Choosing a major is a difficult process. This can be a
good opportunity for your student to explore interests and determine
what they want to study. Your student may also benefit from an internship
or other employment to help them define career options. However, it is
important to remember that students are more than their majors. The best
way to prepare for a career is to get a sound education, develop leadership
skills and gain career-related experience through internships, community
service, part-time jobs, and campus involvement.
