PF#130: A Few College Major Ideas

I don’t really have that many ideas for college majors yet, as I am still in eighth grade, and probably shouldn’t lock in on a major until my sophomore year of college (according to my teacher). I do have three ideas, and I’m going to talk about each of them and why they might be an acceptable option.

The first option that I think I could major in is English. I am already really good at English, and if I major in some form of English, then I can hone my skills. Note that I have not done a whole lot of research into the different jobs that would benefit from an English Major specifically, but I do know that communication is a key, essential part of almost, if not every single job, and so honing those skills to the best that I can would not be unwise.

The second one that I have been considering is some form of Mathematics, probably a specific branch like accounting. I’m a lot less sure about this one. The only reason that I considered this is because there are a lot of high paying jobs in math, like accounting, and it is also good if I start my own business. This is, however, probably the one that I am least interested in.

Finally, we have engineering. Engineering takes a lot of math, which I am a bit skeptical about, but I have already done some engineering via 3d designing different gadgets for around the house. That’s really the only reason that I’m considering it at the moment.

In conclusion, I think it would be best for me to major in English of some sort, but I am not sure, and there is a decent probability that I will change my mind down the line.
