5. Your major equals your future career.
You’ll never get a job with certain majors.
Your major will be your career forever.
Taking extra time to graduate is bad.
Getting your degree will guarantee you a job.
There are majors out there that will virtually guarantee a job
when you graduate.
If my friends like a certain major, I will too. The Career
Center will place you/give you jobs when you graduate.
Myths? Yep! Busted!
