Help With Picking A Major

I am having major trouble in picking a thesis for C.S. Lewis' writing for my research paper! PLEASE HELP!?

from my point of you, you could argue that CS Lewis uses this ficitional world of Narnia in his series to detach the events from our world, but he actually wants to depict life on this planet. What I mean is, he used Aslan as the saviour, he can be simbolized as Narnia's God or Jesus ... it's really trying to depict what goes on in real life without compromising to it, because the point of the books is that people compare the two worlds, and discover the similarities on their own.

from the books you read, The lion the witch and the wardrobe is the third book in the 9-book-long narnia series. but you can work it out with that one as a base. also look for a summary of the first book, "the magician's nephew" as this one depicts the creation of Narnia so you could easily compare it to Genesis and I think your analysis could be very very rich if you take this approach.

What should I know before picking my premed major?

A2A. You should know the requirements for getting into a medical school since premed is not a major. See Admission Requirements for Medical School.Because medical schools are very difficult to get in (see below), I believe you should pick a major that will give you a career if you cannot get into medical school. Picking a major so you can have a high GPA but has no practical application on its own would in my opinion not be your best option.Here is the statistics: “Among 115 ranked medical schools, the average acceptance rate for fall 2015 was 6.9 percent, according to data submitted to U.S. News in an annual survey. Low MCAT scores or undergraduate grade-point averages often prevent prospective doctors from making it through the competitive admissions process.”Bottom line: Any student who wants to be a doctor is caught between a rock and a hard place because on the one hand they need to have a high GPA and on the other hand they need to have a backup major that usually has lower average GPAs.

Is there any advice for helping my ISFP daughter focus on picking a career? She is very smart but can't seem to pick a major.

I’m a chartered accountant (went through the works to get here) and numbers fascinate me a great deal (like they speak to me). I’m in my 30s and an Assistant Manager in the Accounts Department of my organisation; still, I’m searching for the ideal career path. In the meantime, I’m holding down my job and doing it the best way I can. I’m thinking of going into Business Consulting, leveraging on my qualification. I’m also thinking of going into something social but social services is barely existent where I live, so that was never an option.Find out the things your daughter ins interested in. Is she willing to focus and put in the works to be Veterinary Doctor or a pediatrician? Or is she interested in psychology or sociology? IS she interested in Human Resource Management (although, that would mean she needs to toughen up and be willing to confront people no matter how distasteful that may appear?

How Do I Decide on a Major?

I say, if you are not sure at this moment. Just go into college as an art major. Once you are in, then you can get a feel for if you like it our not. College is all about finding out what you want to do and learning about many other different fields while you do so.

Don't be afraid to venture out and take ELECTIVES that you are interested in, but have never really encountered before. You may be surprised by a new passion!

Get involved in CLUBS. Getting into clubs is another way you can touch on some things you are interested in, except this won't use up all the money, time and electives you have for actual school. It extracurricular.

Use you GUIDANCE and CAREER COUNSELORS. Universities and colleges have people there to help you figure out what you want to do. Don't be hesitate to go to them. After all, they are trained to help you find the right career for you.

Good luck.

P.S. I went into college as Studio Art major! I just recently got accepted into my Graphic Design major! :) I love art too.

What is a co-major?

It might be the short form of "major concentration" or short "major", which means the student's main field of specialization during his or her undergraduate studies.

What major should I choose?

Choosing a college major is not as big of a deal as most people make it out to be unless you want to peruse a technical field. For instance, if you want to become a doctor, you better pick a major that will allow you to take medical school pre-requisite courses or have room in your schedule that will allow you to take them. Or if you want to be an engineer...might help to major in the field of engineering that appeals to you most.Picking a major based solely on today's market demand is a short-sighted. Yes, almost every study coming out right now will tell you that Computer Science majors are getting the most job offers straight out of college. BUT, guess what? Not everyone has what it takes to be a great software developer or programmer. Nor does everyone find those subjects intrinsically interesting enough to dedicate their entire college experience and life's work to. Labor demands change as time goes on. Flexibility and the ability to continue learning new skills will keep you employed - not what you chose to major in college as an 18-year-old.Choose something to major in that you genuinely care about.Money will follow passion, and I know plenty of brilliant, gainfully employed liberal arts graduates to prove it. If you choose something in the arts, humanities, social sciences, etc. you need to make a point to take advantage of every opportunity to involve yourself beyond just what you learn in class. Internships, undergrad research opportunities, school leadership positions, campus groups, part-time jobs, etc. are all great ways to get apply what you're learning in class to a real-world setting, and build a resume so you can actually wrangle a job once you get your diploma. This is true of any major, to be honest, but "soft sciences" business students, and the like need to work harder to stand out from the pack to employers.

How do I choose a major?

Richard--thanks for the A2A. First and foremost, congrats on getting into the public university. A University education is a great privilege. There are a lot of things you will explore while you are there. You might want to find a counselor and discuss your aspirations. The University has folks there to help you, guide you and make some suggestions.Picking a major is an important part of the process. But it is a process. You might find yourself picking a course of study only to find out it is not so interesting. Then you will do what everyone else does--change it. I had at least three majors before I settled.This is a time to explore who you are and who you want to be over time. It'll take time and effort to define this. Is it the arts and humanities? Is it the sciences? Technology?  These are things to explore. Finally, your focus to find a major you love versus one that will generate money is commendable. It's one "filter" if you will. But try to take the pressure off of yourself.
