       University Information

FYA Blog - How Studying The Wrong Thing Helped Me Figure Out What The Right Thing
Was
Some great tips in this blog (NOTE: the author is not advocating that you should deliberately
pick the wrong thing)
Tip 1 – go with your gut
Tip 2 – do your research
Tip 3 – changing your mind is ok
“If I could go back, I would jump on Google and research a variety of degrees to figure out
what they’re actually all about. I’d talk to people working on jobs I think sound interesting to
find out what they’re actually like and how they got there. I’d speak to careers counsellors.
And I’d ask for advice from family members and friends.”
