By Mike, IvyWise Academic Advisor As a former academic advisor and faculty member at a public college, I often found that this question struck fear in the hearts of first-year college students, turning a conversation about potential majors into an existential identity crisis.

If students are lucky, their high school might have one or two courses related to career exploration.
