Many students find the process of selecting a major at UC Berkeley
to be challenging. For example, some students with many interests
may feel anxious narrowing their choices for the purpose of declaring
a major, while others may feel their family wants them to choose
a specific major that is not well-suited to their interests and
abilities.
Additionally, career decisions -- be it the first job you choose
after college or making a commitment to graduate school -- are
some of the most important choices you will make. To make a good
decision, it is often helpful to know how your unique personal
qualities relate to opportunities in the working world.
CPS offers a variety of services that can be helpful if you are
trying to choose a major and/or make decisions about your career.
Individual Counseling: Students often find it helpful
to meet individually with a career counselor to help them sort
through their options. For a variety of reasons, you may want
to meet with a counselor one-on-one to talk about your situation.
Are you unsure what career test to take? Have you already taken
a career assessment and feel confused about how to use your results?
Maybe you are having trouble sorting out conflicting interests
or pressures. Or perhaps you need support in the decision-making
process.
