As college students, there is pressure to base your future on the career of your choice. While it may sound cliche, a more fulfilling way to navigate the next phase of life is by establishing and maintaining strong relationships.

Picture this: You’re in a Zoom meeting with an adviser trying to figure out what to study in college, suddenly realizing that this one small and seemingly insignificant decision might make or break the next 50 years of your life. Wait — that’s actually how it felt, wasn’t it? Being forced to choose your major before having 20 years of life experience under your belt is scary, but it doesn’t have to be the end all, be all.

“Everyone needs writers; everyone needs people who can communicate clearly and effectively and efficiently,” Dye said. “There are seemingly endless career options for people who have writing degrees.

As a woman who has been trying to build her career as a journalist, I want my career and published work to follow my name from when I started.

“So, what are you doing after graduation?” That has to be the single most hated question for college seniors everywhere, the perfect answer to which is “lunch.”

Deciding what career path to take, figuring out how to get a job and how to survive without mom and dad’s money are just some of the many issues people may struggle with at some point in their life. These thoughts may appear most frequently when students are in college.

Baylor students experiencing these conundrums may be able to receive some guidance on the matter. The University-Wide Majors Fair will take place from 2:30 to 4 p.m. today in the Barfield Drawing Room of the Bill Daniel Student Center. The Office of Career and Professional Development will host the event.

After you graduate high school, everyone wants to know about your life at college.

They ask about the friends you have made and the organizations you have joined.

They ask if you go to football games or, particularly for Baylor, if you ever got to meet Robert Griffin III or Brittney Griner while they were students.
Typical stuff.
