| 28 Myths and Facts About Majors and Careers
Myths and Facts About
Majors and Careers
Myths about the relationship between
your major and career goals abound. When
you choose a major, you should have no
misconceptions about the undergraduate
preparation you will need to pursue your
goals. Several popular myths about majors
and careers are dispelled below.
Myth: When you choose a college major,
you are choosing a career.
Fact: A study conducted by the College
Placement Council found that the majority
of college graduates are successfully

especially in the liberal arts, give graduates
a wide range of career options.
Myth: Liberal Arts majors are not
employable.
