That said, you WILL spend a lot of time whatever subject you choose. Hereâs what you need to know about college majors before you commit. What is a major? Your major in college is your specialized area of study. Beyond general college requirements, you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Comparative Literature, or Political Science. At some schools you can even design your own major. How important is your major? The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average twenty-something switches jobs once every three years and the average person changes career fields two or three times in their lifetime.
There are two common mistakes that you should avoid when choosing a major. First, no matter how interesting or convenient a major is, do not choose it if it is too difficult for you. You may be fascinated with bioengineering, but if you are getting B's in all your classes, it may not be the best choice for you.
