you majored in what

"you majored in what by katherine brooks " is a book that help us understand that we might have many questions when its come to talk about our careers but we most not feel alone or lost because there alot  of guide and  things we can do to  get back in our track. with the author Wise Wanderings career coaching system helps you mine your academic and life experiences for career gold through creative yet practical techniques including visual mapping, storytelling, and experimenting. Thanks to the Wise Wanderings system, you can forget what you've been told about the job search. You don't have to know where you'll be in ten years. You don't have to have picked the perfect major. The job-finding process doesn't have to be one more burden on your already overburdened schedule. All you have to do is pay attention. Embrace the chaos. Think. Create maps. Construct small experiments. Celebrate your education. Consider possible lives. Tell stories. And start wandering. Wisely, of course. You'll be amazed at what's waiting out there for you.


 One part of the essay that really caught my attention was the part when  the author said " right now you're probably thinking that persuing an education that directly relates to a career, and vice versa,  seems so stable and easy. wouldn't it make more sense to follow a more direct path ? " when i read this i feel very familiar because that is the way i was thinking before i read the book  for me it was more reasonable to think that if i wanna become a cop i should study criminal justice because they are related but now that i read the book i see that linear thinking  can keep us from thinking broadly about our opinions and being open minded to new opportunities.

Another part that i really liked was when she said "you might assume that the job search is a linear logical process  you set a specific career goal follow clearly outlined steps and arrive at the perfect job" i really thought this way lol but after i read the experience a students had i realize that with the time we change our mind because there are some experience in our daytime life that really help us understand what we want to do how, where and why also i learned  that there is not a linear logical process to get a job sometimes life just surprised us with greats opporunities so we dosnt have to follow any steps.
