    Let’s start by acknowledging that in many places, the very idea of a “preschool application” is a foreign concept. You find out about a couple of good preschools nearby, give a call or drop by, get your child signed up, and there you have it. Doesn’t that sound great? Sadly, such a simple process could not be farther from the reality in many urban areas.

So write down each of the majors that interest you, and under each one list what you like and don’t like about it, as well as the possible careers you might like to pursue. You may want to consider which majors will best prepare you for the job you want to get out of college. Read More »
