Hey Priya, Start by listing your top 3 interests and skills. Take introductory courses in those areas and talk to professors and students in those majors. Consider job prospects and salary ranges, but prioritize what you enjoy. Many students change majors after first year—explore widely before committing.
Reflect on what excites you and where you excel. Use career assessment tools and attend info sessions. Gain experience through internships or research in potential fields. Remember, your major doesn’t lock you into one career—many jobs value skills over specific degrees. Stay flexible and open-minded.
