Seeking Career Options / Majors

• What do you want to be when you grow up?
• Whats your major?
• Students who have career direction before
  entering college are nine times more likely to
  graduate from college
• Decisions influenced by family, friends teachers,
  counselors, assessments, shadowing, college
  visits, reading, etc
• When the goal is post-secondary success, not
  college admissions, career direction becomes as
  pivotal as academic skills. Kenneth Gray
