Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Opinion: Tips for picking a college major
Many US college students start accumulating debts as soon as they are enrolled. Student loans. As tuitions have been rising considerably and continuously, average tuitions and fees have reached nearly $40,000 for private colleges, almost $23,000 for public universities for out-of-state students, and a little over $10,000 for in-state students in the 2022-2023 academic year. Without financial aid like Princeton (Vol.3810), college students will have to start paying back their loans once they graduate from school. So, when it comes to deciding which major to take, many college sophomores tend to prioritize income potential over their interest or passion. But do finance or information technology always bring about higher salaries? What if you don’t perform as well as your colleagues because you aren’t that interested in the field? You might earn more if you do well in the field that you really like to learn, advance, and succeed in. Also, you might find what you really want to do after college if you major in what you’re interested in and get good grades. A senior academic adviser in the history department of the University of Minnesota writes an intriguing perspective on choosing a college major.
Enjoy reading the article and think about what field makes you earn more or feel happier.
