🔑 Choosing a college major requires identifying your skills and strengths.

💰 Consider what careers will pay you for the skills you have.

💼 Different industries offer high-paying careers, such as Hollywood, professional sports, finance, and high-tech.

🎓 Choosing a college major involves considering what people will pay you to do and what you're good at.

😂 Being good at something, like comedy, doesn't necessarily mean you'll be paid well for it.

💡 Reevaluating our definition of passion is important for choosing the right college major.

🎓 Choose a college major based on deep convictions and long-term passions, rather than current interests.

💡 If you're skilled and passionate about something, but it's not a viable career option, it can be a hobby instead.

🤔 Ask yourself what deeply-rooted convictions matter to you forever, not just in the present moment.

🔑 Finding the intersection between what you're good at, what you're passionate about, and what people will pay you for is crucial in choosing a college major.

💼 Choosing a major in marketing, design, or computer science can lead to promising career opportunities, with internships available in these fields.
