Personal Finance Lesson 130 Assignment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today’s assignment was to write a short list of college majors I’d consider. Here are my top 3, with the reasons why I would choose them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Biology<\/strong>: I really enjoy natural sciences, and this major could open up a lot of potential career options. It is also in fairly high demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Computer Programming\/Science<\/strong>: I’m also interested in coding. These types of careers are in very high demand right now, and finding a job is probably not hard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Economics<\/strong>: Another career option that I’m interested in. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These careers are all in fairly high demand, and they would provide a decent starting income. College is years away, so who knows? Conditions might change, and I might change my interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
