In Choosing the Right Major

Written by: Janice Nonato Ragay

When you were in high school, you were so excited to be in college and wanted to experience college life. You were always imagining how exciting and challenging your life would be. College life is not as easy as what you think and definitely not a joke, so you have to keep everything planned and certain.

First, think of what aspect you are good at, what subject in high school do you excel, and what do you want to do in your future life? Choose a profession that you want to be. It will help you decide what field of study you are going to obtain. Always consider things that interest you the most. Also ponder the factors that are part of the journey that you want to pursue. Select a major that interests you the most and can provide the information and training that you can use in the future. Financial aspects, family, and environment can also be a great factor in this matter. It is good to study if everything goes smoothly with your resources and your emotional and physical wellbeing. In choosing your major, try to answer these questions; “Why are you interested on this particular field or major? Will you really have the chance to succeed if you are going to choose this major?” Analysing these kind of questions make you think deeper and do careful steps in choosing your major since a lot of factors will be affected if you fail to decide for the best.

If you think you already chose a major that you are going to study to build your career, be confident and be certain on the next step that you have to undergo. Be the best and answer the interviewer with full of guts and be knowledgeable in answering the questions that are being thrown at you as part of your admission examination in the University that you want to enrol. Always remember that the major you have chosen is really the desire of your heart, not just because your parents wanted you to choose. This is just your first step in a challenging path that your about to travel in developing the foundation of the kind of life will you have in the near future. The main challenge is when you pursue knowledge on the field of study that you chose and also in discovering important things and ideas on the said scope. It is necessary that you study not just because you want to gain something but instead accepting and embracing the future career that you are going to build out of the major that you have chosen. Apply every single thing and idea that you have learned in your everyday life so that you will be able to use it when the right time comes.
