“Still Deciding” My Major • Don’t panic! You don’t have to have it all figured out today. • Many students who have “decided” will change their minds. • Let your academic advisor know you are still deciding. • They will help you select more exploratory and general education courses. • The career decision-making process is a participatory process.


Career Exploration: Know Yourself • Personality • Interests • Skills • Work Values • Personal Values • Leisure Time • Experience
