Major trouble?? -Career Services is a start!

I am in my second semester here at Eau Claire and currently undeclared. In the past year, I have went through all the possibilities-from health care administration to communication sciences and disorders. As of right now, I am thinking of majoring in social work. I think that it would be awesome to work with families and birth mothers in arranging adoptions. I feel that it would be so rewarding!

Though I am not officially "declared," you may ask how I got to this point. Well through Career Services, of course! I started working here the second week of school and from my first day in the office I was amazed by all that it has to offer. CS has binders full of major descriptions, pamphlets and plenty of worksheets to keep your mind buzzing!!!

I began by looking at the list of majors that UWEC offers and putting a star next to any major or minor that I was possibly thinking of, even if it was very unlikely that would end up declaring it. From the majors that I put a star by, I grabbed the corresponding handouts. These handouts list the benefits to earning a degree from UWEC, what type of classes that you will take, the skills you will acquire and some of the interests and values that held by those in that major. The handout also lists organizations to get involved in as well as job titles that people with this major hold. Lastly, the worksheet gives ways in which you can learn more about the major both on campus and through other websites. All this from just one worksheet!!!

If you are exploring majors. start looking at these worksheets and stay tuned for further steps on how to make that major (hehe) decision!!
