Majors, Internships & Careers: Why? How? When?

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to major in something completely different? Or can you not imagine life in any other field of study? Why are you studying [insert major here] anyway? What do you hope to actually do in the real world? Do you just want to go to a faraway […]
