What They Should You Tell You in College

This post serves as a warning to college students, especially freshman. Up to the time I went to college my biggest decision was about prom dresses and now suddenly I had to decide what I was going to do for the rest of my life.

The one thing that they won't tell you in college is what you shouldn't major in. I really fell in love with this article entitled the 20 worst paying college degrees. The one big surprise on the list was that an art major would make more than a teacher. Of course it doesn't factor in how easy it would be to get and keep a job in one of those fields. It also doesn't take into account happiness or job satisfaction. Really someone should make a chart with all of those things on it and just give it to all college freshman. I am not that person because I'm not great at math.
