Hey bitches! I need help.

So I’m in college and I have no idea what I want to major in. My heart says literature but that isn’t going to make me money and college is EXPENSIVEEEEE. So I’m looking at a program called ‘interactive art and technology’. I know graphic design itself isn’t a huge moneymaker but this program combines UX UI design, game design, programming, etc with graphic design and everything. I have no idea who to talk to to make sure that this is a lucrative career. A prof I had told me that graphic design is a lucrative career but I don’t believe her cause she’s probably been out of the market for years. I wonder if my advisors will even give me a correct answer about asking for pay (I’m kinda ashamed of asking about pay myself), and I wonder who I can ask? How do I know if it’s a good industry to work in? How can I get an honest opinion of it? (Like, I know programming is a moneymaking major but since this program is arts oriented to, I wonder if it will even be lucrative?) And what do I do if it turns out it’s not a good major to be in?

Sorry, I know that was a lot 😅😅 hope y’all have a good day!

Not to worry, pet! We have a couple of articles on the best way to choose a college major and career:

High School Students Have No Way of Knowing What Career to Choose. Why Do We Make Them Do It Anyway? 

The Actually Helpful, Nuanced, Non-Bullshit Way to Choose a Future Career 

Your College Major May Not Prepare You for Your Job—but It Can Prepare You for Life

The tl;dr of it all is that Glassdoor.com is a great resource for comparing salaries, getting employee reviews of companies, and figuring out what it's really like in a given profession.

We also recommend requesting informational interviews from alumni who work in the field you're targeting. Good luck, sweet pea!

In 2015, Dan Price, the CEO and cofounder of Gravity Payments, cut his own pay from about 1 million dollars to 70,000 and set a 70,000 dollar minimum salary for everyone at the company. He said he wanted people to live comfortably and shrink pay gaps.
