Reflection: "Stop Asking me About my Major

            When entering college you have to decide on a "major" and area of study that will lead you into a career in the related field. I know that most of what students learn during their years in college is outdated by the time they enter the workforce.
           What I would like to learn is, is it important to pick a major right away or is it ok to wait? Is it possible to get a degree in one field and work in a different career field?
           After reading I learned it is ok to change your major and it is possible to get a degree in one field and work in another. I learned that the average person changes their career two to three times in their life.(pg 28) It is more beneficial to go to school for what you are interested in and not just for the job market and salary possibilities.
          I would like to know why do people end up changing their careers? Is it hard to change your career? And what is the best way to deal with pushy parents?
