Who Likes School

When you are first starting out with college, you may feel some pressure to choose a college major and a specific degree program. This may be truer if you are getting an associate degree instead of a bachelor degree because of the short time frame of the associates degree program. However, you shouldn't rush to choose a degree if you don't know what it is that you want to pursue.

Eventually you do have to limit your degree choices. You have to decide that you're doing a web design associate degree online or that you're going to a campus that offers bachelor in fire science degrees. But you don't need to decide that on day one of starting to look at colleges.

The more experience that you have in school (and just in life in general), the more capable you are going to be of selecting the right college degree program. You will know yourself and your own interests and abilities better after a little bit of time in school. And you will know your options better after learning more about what's out there. Be okay with just taking a few gen ed courses to see what it is that you like and can do well before you start limiting your options.
