I read an article that was in the paper (my mom showed it to me).
It was about an author who had written a book called "You majored in what? - Mapping your path from chaos to career" by Kathrine Brooks, ED.D.. I have been thinking about the article for a few days and thought I would look up the book at the store. I found it today and started to check it out. It actually kept my attention, which is surprising because I have gone to a bookstore before and ready books that I yawned threw and tests that I have already taken to get an idea of jobs I might be good for. I have just started reading the book today, hopefully I will have more to say after I am done with it.
Here is the book on Borders.com Click here
Description: "Has it happened yet? Have you been asked The Question? You know the one. Its the question that haunts you from your early undergrad days to months, even years, after you graduate What are you going to do with that major? Inevitably this unleashes waves of anxiety, whether you're a liberal arts student unsure what your degree has prepared you for, someone with a practical major whose career field is oversaturated (or just unappealing), or a recent grad still searching for inspiration. But take heart The Question is fundamentally flawed. Your major does not equal your job! In You Majored In What?, nationally known career counselor Dr. Katharine Brooks dispels the myths and the old-fashioned thinking that can make your transition to the real world so daunting and chaotic.
