Going to college for some is a breeze.  They decide that they are going and what they are going to major in and graduate with a degree.

Some of us have gone to college and have no idea what we want to study.  We try this subject and that subject and kind of  wonder around looking for a sign to tell us "this is it".  With that consider the following story. 

One day a philosopher, while walking in his garden, noticed some trees of the same species, of which some grew up straight and strong, while others were stunted and withered.

He inquired the reason, and was informed that the first had been planted directly upon the spot in which they were growing, while the others had been transplanted several times.

Turning toward the pupils who accompanied him, he pointed out these trees to them and told them that they ought to look upon them as a symbol.

"Devotion to constantly changing aims," said he, "has for young people the same danger that numerous changes of position have for plants.

"Hardly have the roots had time to form themselves before they are broken by the plant's being plucked out of the ground.

"The same thing holds true for those who abandon the career that they have originally chosen.

"All their former work goes for nothing and they have to form new habits and new aptitudes in surroundings which are little known to them and often full of danger."

It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that we should not start without proper reflection along a road that we do not know, whose difficulties we have not taken the trouble to study, whose pitfalls we are ignorant of, and among whose impassable rocks and dangerous gulfs we may well perish miserably for lack of a little foresight.

(From "Perseverance How To Develop It" by H. Besser)

In other words, before you declare a college major maybe you should evaluate your abilities and your wants.  What are your strengths and weaknesses?  Would you be satisfied doing this for the rest of your life?  Will this enable you to reach your financial goals in the future?

Will I be happy doing this?

There are many helpful tests that you may take to evaluate the above and help you to make an intelligent choice as to which major you should choose for college and which you are not suited for.  Even if you "know" what your major will be, it would be worth your time to take one of these tests as they will reveal a great deal about yourself as well as confirm your decision.
