Picking the right college can be challenging enough, let alone having to pick a future career path AKA a major. There are a plethora of options. Go into business? Film studies? English? Psychology? Or something else? Then, there’s the issue of practicality. Can you study renaissance history and really parlay it into a future career?

For the nontraditional student the options and considerations might be a bit different. There are issues of working around job(s), family obligations and financial concerns. The biggest obstacle for non-traditional students is the T word. Time. Students with many other outside commitments often don’t have concentrated periods of time to devote to academic pursuits, thus, they need to find creative ways to schedule their scholastic interests and their personal and professional endeavors.

NT students need to fast-track their academic progress and the best way to do this is to pick a major which is compatible with their current career field or a program that will surely offer them job opportunities.
