How to Pick a Major…even if your teen has NO idea what they want to be when they grow up!
For many teens, there’s an underlying assumption that after high school, they will go to college. But do they really know why they want to go? What do they want to get out of it…and what do they want to major in? And if they DON’T know what they want to major in, this can cause even MORE pressure! “What’s wrong with me…why can’t I figure this out?”
