Introduction
One of the most important questions that students need to ask themselves before filling in a college application is, what will I select as my major? There are many who just go to college to just fulfill and complete their college education even without knowing what they will major in. While this might be the case, it is important that one goes to college with a clear goal of what they may want to do in future. There are many college students who spend 4 to 5 year in college, and all that they acquire is nothing greater than general education credits; thus, they end up graduating with a mere general education degree. While this may work for some, it doesn’t work for others.
Ask yourself the questions
There are certain questions that one needs to ask themselves; what do 
I like to do? There are different ways of answering this question. For instance, if you like music, you may go further and ask, what stage of the music industry would you like to work in? Do you want to be a producer, a sound engineer, an artist or even a music agent? There are so many positions that one can fill in this industry. Just because one likes music, it does not mean that they have to be musicians for the rest of their lives. With time, one may develop other likings that might be quite distinct from the music industry.
It is the same always
The same holds for all other professions, for instance, anyone who wants to be an engineer can choose a given field; electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, computer, aerospace or any other type of engineering that they may think of. The most import thing that one needs to think of is looking at what is best for them and what they enjoy doing.
There are times that students make some careless mistakes when selecting their majors. For instance, there are those who will select a major based on their friends’ selection, others will select based on the attributes of the campus they wish to attend, for instance, due to “hot girls.” Such decisions usually lead to catastrophic results. At the end of it all, one realizes that what they choose is not what they would have wished to pursue. When Selecting your major in College, one should look at the long-term viability of their decision, say, 5 to 10 years after graduation. One will need a major that will support a strong occupation that the student will not only enjoy but will also grow in it.
