One of your child's most challenging decisions may be choosing a major. For many students, this choice feels overwhelming because they assume that an academic major influences "the rest of their lives." Although inaccurate, this assumption can trigger confusion and anxiety. Career Services works with hundreds of students annually as they choose a major. Here are some resources that we encourage your child to explore:

• What can I do with a major in ___? - A site where academic majors are linked to a variety of careers
• Tufts Career Network - Most careers do not require a specific undergraduate major for entry. Talk with some of the 7,000 alumni volunteers about their career paths
