    Hi! Okay so I took your course, but I still feel so lost. I found myself back to step one. I am an 18 year-old-freshman in college. And I am so lost on how to pick a major that best fits me. I want something that will lead me to a job I love. I’m a thriver and a little bit of a tribe member. I am attracted to fulfillment, balance, connection, creativity, stability, fun, collaboration, competence, leadership, and comfort. I want a career that won’t be the same routine every day, gives me a sence that I did something to help the world, pays well, has a good job outlook, and will still give me time for vacation and family time. I am a people person too! I’m majoring in Computer Information Technology and I really don’t like it. I mainly chose it because it has a good job outlook and it pays well. However, jobs with my major are sooooo antisocial. Collaboration and connection are things I really value. I don’t want to be sitting in front of my computer in an office all alone for a long time. The last thing I want is a mediocre life. I want to travel and impact people’s lives. I just don’t know what major to pick for that. I’ve also taken the Myers-Briggs personality test and I am an ENFP. ENFP are basically creative and entertainers. I don’t live in Hollywood, and am an awkard gawky silly person haha. And all the other options they have for ENFP either dont pay well, or their just dont have good job outlooks. I just seriously need help. How do I pick a major I will like and not hate? After taking your course I decidedcd to change my major to either finance or accounting because those careers are stable, and give good hours…. but I don’t know if I’m making the right decison here. People say to do internships to find out if it’s something I will like but I have NO TIME for that. I’m a student athlete. I run track and field, and I have practice every day from 4 to 6 pm. Sooo what types of majors do you guys recomend for me? Or what are some steps I can take to decide what major to pick? What steps do I need to take to visualise what kind of career I want? Please help me. I need serious help.

    Oh and something that doesn’t have a routine every single day. I like adventure and variety.

    Hello! My name is Jessica and I am an 18-year-old freshman in college. I am a thriver and I’m from Texas. Everything on my passion profile literally describes me, especially the part that says that I am very indecisive. And that is why I signed up for PPSC. I feel an enormous amount of pressure to pick a major and I am not necessarily passionate about anything. I don’t know what I like and I don’t want to pick a major that I really hate and that will lead me to work at a job that I hate for the rest of my life. I’m currently a Computer Information Technology major, and I hate it. I just realized that I don’t want to be working in a job where I am isolated from people working on a computer for the rest of my life. I don’t even like computers that much. I mainly picked it because it has a good job outlook, and it pays really well. I want a career that won’t give off too much pressure, and it’s for a cause or a company I ACTUALLY care about. I also want something that will allow me to have some time for family and play time. I also want something that pays really well. I hope I will get some guidance that will lead me to pick the right major.
