A great way to find out if you want to be an engineer or an accountant is to take an introductory class.
But it won’t tell you everything you need to know about the program. You must dig deeper to find out exactly what is required for different degrees.
If you’re still in high school, it’s just the right time to start. You can have a talk to your guidance counselor about different college majors. He or she will most likely have some literature and online resources that can give you more details about a field of study and what is involved.
If you’re already in college, an academic advisor will definitely have this information for you and it will be specific to that college. Look at the required classes. Are these subjects that excite you? Do they line up with your interests and aptitude? If you’re still undecided, talk to other students who are taking or have already graduated from the program.
