It is hard enough to decide what to study in college, let alone how that path ties into your dream job that seems a ways down the road. The online resource What Can I Do with This Major really helps alleviate stresses about what kinds of career options certain majors have to offer. Although the site isn’t particularly interactive or graphic, the information is really easy-to-read and well-organized. For every single major on their chart, it includes the areas and fields one can go into, possible employers in that field, a brief description of the industries listed, and information and strategies such as what to get involved in during one’s college career or what elective courses to take to be most marketable for that particular area of interest. What Can I do With This Major gives an immediate picture of career possibilities look like and what an ideal candidate for certain options and fields would achieve in college.
