Why is this myth?
Many college students believe that their major
determines where they will end up in the next step of their life- journeys,
just to find that even after majoring in a specific area, they may end up in a
in a position or place they never thought plausible when first choosing their
major.
What is the truth behind it?
“Organizations that are hiring usually place more
emphasis on previous work experience and job skills than specific majors.
However, some companies, such as engineering firms, recruit and seek to hire
individuals who have completed certain majors when it is essential for the
performance of their job duties. Individuals in the workforce usually work in
industries loosely related to the majors they studied in college.”- From “Top
