Job Options Beyond Your Major

It’s easy to limit your job or internship search to the jobs that are associated with your major. However, there are so many job opportunities that your major is preparing you for that goes beyond the traditional description.

For example, if you’re a journalism major, you don’t need to limit yourself to writing for a newspaper, magazine or blog. If you have great writing skills, advertising and social media agencies are a great fit when it comes to copywriting ads and writing social media posts.
