That all adds up to Computer Science, of which I will major in. However, that decision hasn't always been concrete. In order to major in the sciences, one had to possess an inordinate amount of intelligence, I thought. I ain't that smart, I thought. So, I took personality tests, major quizzes, everything I could get my hands on. Still Computer Science. Still, I wasn't sure. I scoured the sites of colleges I was interested in, but they didn't answer my question: Am I really qualified for this?Then, I started read books like WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE?Cue light-bulb moment.I got the skillz, and I can totally pursue my major. With confidence, ya'll.Many of us are at that stage of life when deciding a career path is, well, stressful. So, I had high hopes for this book. Now, at first, I thought WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE was going to be one of the “follow your dreams” kind. While I’m all for my dreams of becoming a published author, I’m not exactly smart enough to make any real money off my writing yet. So, I typically avoid books like that. They’re a little impractical.Thankfully, this book surprised me. The authors know what they’re talking about, and even this Google addict learned a whole lot about careers — and college majors. It’s easy to pick a college major once you discover what kind of jobs you’re interested in. The authors of this book know how to talk us youngsters.
