Within this environment of continuous change we are continually questioning whether the career path we have taken is the 'correct' one. At university this questioning can take a number of forms including changing majors.

There are number of decisions that you could be making regarding some of the following course and career related factors:

  • Subjects
  • Courses
  • Faculties
  • Degrees
  • Institutions
  • Full-time to part-time or vice versa
  • Jobs
  • Employment goals
  • Career direction

For example:

  • In the early stages of starting at university, it is understandable for you to question whether you have chosen the correct course.
  • In the later stages of your degree you may question if this is the career area you want to pursue now that you know a lot more about it.
  • As a postgraduate student you may be questioning whether to continue in the same direction or change direction.
  • After you have been in the workforce for some time you may want to change out of that career area altogether.

This process of questioning your career path or career decisions is perfectly normal. If you wish to explore this further please undertake the following activity: My Career Move.
