Using Your Passion as a Competitive Advantage
By: Regina F.
One of the most challenging choices students confront is deciding what career to pursue during college. A study by Ohio State University reported that around 75% of college students change their major at least once before graduation. But the question is, why does this happen? When applying to college and deciding which career to choose, students hear many opinions from their parents, friends, and family; they search through the internet and social media and receive biased information from others. Thus, all of these factors pressure students in a way that they end up choosing a career they do not actually feel passionate about. In the end, only 27% work in their field of study.
