Opportunity
Having a major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics can not only enhance your college experience, but can lead to many exciting opportunities in life. The majors in STEM are often times
referred to as the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ ma- jors because of all the skills you acquire while studying them. Another benefit that is unique to STEM majors is the various options you have after finishing your un- dergraduate degree: attend graduate school, attend professional school, work in a laboratory, do research, become a teacher, work for the government, become a technical writer or science editor, or work as a legal analyst, lobbyist, sector analyst, among many other careers.

“I feel sorry for the person who can’t get genuinely excited about his/her work. Not only will he/she never be satisfied, but he/she will never achieve anything worth- while” – Walter Chrysler. Going to class and work every day should not be dread- ed. Yes, there are going to be days when you may not want to get out of bed in the morning, or you want to skip class, but for the majority of the time, you should look forward to learning and going to class.

Also, majoring in a STEM field can actu- ally give you a leg up on the college expe- rience. Studying science, technology, en- gineering, or math will not be the simplest
