Product Description
It's not too soon for high school students to start choosing their college major. In fact, the sooner the better. While college is indeed a time for discovery, a haphazard search for the right major can delay graduation by a year or two, costing students an additional $40,000 to $150,000 in extra tuition and lost wages.

College Majors That Work helps spare students these costly (in)decisions. It matches a student's goals and expectations with the right major, and explores how that choice plays out in the real world, influencing both career and lifestyle choices.

Product Description
Times have changed in the past forty years, where at one time simply going to college was sufficient to build a better life. Students could simply go to college and neglect the realities of work until after graduation. But as times have changed, so have the realities of education and the work that will ensue. Much more is required of students now than ever before. Companies are more willing to hire high school graduates with specific work experience, providing them with comparable pay. Meanwhile, education is becoming more expensive. Students need to be aware of the realities behind their inherent skills/abilities, passions, talents, interests, and personality, while weighing them in relation to the work-force, job availability, pay, and career growth. A Treatise On Choosing Your Major challenges students to explore themselves, what they love, and what they hope to do. This is done while emphasizing the importance of making a mature and sound decision that will endure the test of time. It is a decision that needs to be made while they are still developing cognitively and emotionally. The book is written in a manner that entertains, instructs, and challenges the reader to understand the investment of both time and money that goes into a college education. Readers will learn that college is a time of preparation for a career and the realities of work should not be neglected until graduation, but rather planned and prepared for. About the author.
