Although some college majors, such as Engineering or Nursing, will provide students with skills needed for “specific” entry level careers, the majority of majors will provide general knowledge and skills related to an area of interest and desire.

Keep in mind that classroom knowledge alone will not guarantee students a successful career in any area of study.
