I have majors or careers in mind, what’s my next step?

Good for you, you’re making progress! Keep in mind the major you pick does not necessarily equal career choice. In fact, most employers are less concerned with your choice of major and are more interested in the skills you’ve developed through coursework, campus involvement, and volunteer and internship experience.
