The Holland Codes
Six factor typology that can be used to describe bothpersons and
work environments.Holland's theory does not assume that a person isjust one type or
that there are "only six types of people in the world."
The Holland Codes are used to describe 720 different personality
patterns.Usually only the two or three most dominant codes are used for
career guidance

The Challenges of Work
Do you have what it takes?
Life is sometimes difficult, but it is a whole lot harder without a
good education and career Getting an education gives you more opportunities to get agood salary and do the things you want to do
Quitting is the easiest thing you can do, and then what?
Do you have what it takes? It is your career, your future, yourchoice!

You don't need to have only one career goal in mind
It is fine to use university as a way to explore areas of
interest (Specifically in North America)
The average American worker holds 9.2 different jobs
between the ages of 18 and 34.(From the US Department of Labour)

What is a Major?
In many ways, a Major is like a contract
between you and the school you attend.
By declaring a Major, the student agrees to
perform certain work, (i.e. classes) in
exchange for a college degree.

Another way of
thinking about it
A Major is simply an organized collection of classes,
either revolving around a: Subject (e.g. mathematics),
Theme (e.g. peace studies), or
Professional field (e.g. Pre-Med, Pre-Law,Engineering, etc.)
Check the Big book of Majors (in the College Library)

I guess the most important thing about university isvisiting your favorite universities during the summerholiday.
I visited several universities, and I immediately knew I
belonged in William and Mary . When you visit a college, you'll be given a tour by a
tour guide (usually a college student) and you'll be ableto ask them all these questions.
What's great about this is that the tour guides arestudents so they'll understand what you're looking
for.
