Why do you need to think about what you hope to do after college when choosing what to study in college? Here are a few important reasons:
- You need to consider a college major that can produce the salary needed to pay back your student loans when you join the workforce. A degree can help you get your foot in the door, but if that door leads to just enough salary to get by from week to week, how are you supposed to pay back college debt?
- Different majors could require more or fewer credits as well as varying amounts of on-the-job training.
- The college you choose to attend will have better programs for some majors than others. If you know what you hope to do after school, this could help you to narrow down your college list to universities with programs that will meet your needs.
- It would be rough to go through school and have loans to pay back, only to find that you can’t get the entry-level job that you want with the degree that you have. So you need to do that research beforehand so that you get the right credentials as a part of your education journey.
