9. Settling for second best. Some students, especially those at small colleges, pick a major simply because the major they'd really like to take isn't offered at their school. If what you want to study isn't on the official list of majors and programs, consider constructing your own major: Many colleges allow the possibility of interdisciplinary or self-directed programs of study. And if you find there's just no way to make it work given the puny offerings at your school, consider consortiums of schools or other colleges in the same city for which your school allows cross-registration (for example, the Five College Consortium in Amherst, Mass., or the exchange program between Columbia University and either the Juilliard or the Manhattan schools of music).
If all else fails, consider transferring to a college that has what you want: Lack of a major is viewed by admissions officers as one of the best reasons for trading your little college for their ginormous university.
10. 只为职业理想而选择专业。 当然,在紧缩的经济形势下选择专业时最好将眼光放在获得职位上。但这不应当成为你选择专业的唯一考虑。首先,专业和职业之间并没有一一对应关系:你不需要因为在商界发展而选择市场营销或是商学院的专业;同样你也不必因为选择哲学或政治学专业而继续去读法学院。确实有很多的职位是要求专业背景的,但是更多的职位并不看重你所学的专业,他们看重的是你的数学、写作、沟通、外语或是分析的能力,而这些各个专业的学生都可以锻炼获得。
