What Can I Do With This Major?

Are you undecided on a major?  Have a major but don't know what career to pursue?  Use this "What Can I Do With This Major" link to explore opportunities for different majors.   Discussing your options with your academic advisor or a favorite professor is helpful as well.  We in Career Services are always available for you to come in and discuss your options.  Talking to your family, friends, parent's friends, neighbors, etc. will also help you know yourself better to help you know what a good path to follow could be.

Career Services also has online inventories you can complete to learn more about your personality style and preferences.  You'll want to set aside about an hour to complete the online Strong Interest Inventory.  Visit the website https://online.cpp.com/.  IC students should use the login ICCareerCenter and the password blueboy.  The login and password are case sensitive.  Click the login button and then choose the button for the Newly Revised Strong Interest Inventory.  The survey has 317 questions and does have a click and return later feature should you need to quit and return at a later time to complete the survey.  If you do decide to quit to return later please be sure to write down the ID number that is given for you.  You will need this so you can start where you left off next time. 

Please email Susie Drake at sdrake@ic.edu after you complete the inventory.  You will need to set up an appointment to meet with her to go over your Career Report.  If you need further information you could also complete the Myers Briggs Type Indicator on this same program.  Please see Susie before completing the MBTI. 

Enjoy the exploration process of choosing a major or choosing a career.  Keep in mind that you will probably change career paths a few times in your adult life.  Choose something you enjoy and this will help you enjoy life much more.  Stop by Career Services for more information.
