• Answer:

  There are a bunch of websites that will tell you possible careers for each major. Try this one: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/majors-careers I know someone who was a social work major and now they work in the research field making $5,600 a month. My advice is to follow your dream and find out ways to get a decent pay from it. For example, let's say you want to major in social work. OK - well let's say you know non-profit organizations in your area that pay $12 an hour starting. Then you might research some more and find that college counselors in your area make $25 an hour. Then you might research some more and find that to become a college counselor, you need 5 years of work experience in a counseling field (social work jobs usually involve a lot of counseling so this helps). This is just an example of course, but do you see where I'm heading? Good luck!
