MYTH #5

SELECTING A MAJOR DETERMINES YOUR LIFELONG CAREER

People frequently change their minds about their careers and jobs (Pascaerlla & Terenzini, 1991). In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average individual changes careers three times in a life time. Many jobs today will also change dramatically in the future, and years from now certain jobs may even cease to exist. In addition, new jobs can develop for which you may be qualified. Therefore, you do not need to be completely certain of you decision.
