JA Student Center

Add comment July 22nd, 2008

With many high school graduates on their way off to college and incoming seniors beginning to think about next steps, it got me thinking about all that must go through the minds of these young people.

People constantly ask you “Have you chosen a college?,” “What’s your major going to be?,” “How are you paying for college?”

It’s scary. Sometimes it’s so scary that it’s just easier not thinking about it.

There are more than 4,000 degree granting institutions in the United States each with their specialities, democraphics, strengths and weaknesses. And their costs are going up each year.

There are exponentially greater numbers of majors to study for each with their own starting salaries and their own strengths and weaknesses.

If you’re looking for a place to start, perhaps the JA Student Center might be a great place to go. Visit http://studentcenter.ja.org and look at different careers, colleges, scholarships, and other resources for getting that job of your dreams. It’s actually easier than you think.
