Does your student have no idea what they want to be when they grow up or where they want to go to college? You’re not alone—this is more common than you think.

Many students start college with one major in mind, only to change it later. In fact, around 70% of students switch majors at least once. If that happens after sophomore year, it can lead to extra time in school—and extra costs. That’s why it’s important to start exploring options now, before college applications are due.

As your student dives into this semester, encourage them to discover what excites them. Whether it’s a class, a sport, or a hobby, getting involved can help spark ideas about their future. Did they enjoy a coding class? Look into colleges with strong STEM programs and internship opportunities. Love writing? Explore schools with top journalism or creative writing majors. Finding these interests early can help guide them toward a career path that fits.

If your student is a junior or senior, time is moving fast. The key to a smooth college admissions process is having a plan—one that includes researching colleges, understanding financial aid, and preparing strong applications. The right plan can set them up for success, helping them get into the right school, at the right price, and graduate on time.
