You are an 18-year-old about to take out over 100k in student loans to attend a prestigious state school and choose your future career field based on a few brochures, a naive high school level understanding of STEM subjects, and maybe some internet searches. You have decent grades but no particular study outside of playing Xbox is calling your name. What will you study in college?
Study Electrical Engineering, looks high paying and you get to build things I think
Study Math, you’ve always been decent at it in high school, how much harder could it get in college
Study Chemistry, just imagine living the rest of your life in a lab coat
Start a Pre-Med program, you were born to heal and you love Biology
