Focus on Your Interests

The following questions are intended to lead you to explore areas of personal preference and interest that should inform your choice of a major. These questions are informal and designed to be answered briefly; more-extended and formal 'interest inventories' are available in your college's counseling office. You may want to explore your interests further through the use of one of those inventories.



1

Do you think you would enjoy being told exactly what to do and how to do it, or would you rather work things out by yourself, without extensive instructions or supervision? What implications might your answer have for a choice of majors?
2

Do you think you would enjoy helping other people more than earning money? Why or why not? What implications might your answer have for a choice of majors?
3

Are you ambitious and success-oriented and not ashamed to admit that you'd like to earn a lot of money, or are success and money of secondary importance to you? What implications might your answer have for a choice of majors?
4

Do you like exploring open-ended problems that probably will never be entirely resolved, or do you prefer exploring problems that offer a real chance of a practical solution? What implications might your answer have for a choice of majors?
5

Are you the artistic type and do you enjoy performing, creating, and viewing/listening to artistic works, or is art of relatively little interest to you? What implications might your answer have for a choice of majors?
6

Do you enjoy working with others, or do you prefer to work on your own? What implications might your answer have for choice of majors?
