For those who may have read a early post (Khan Academy) in the year may know I’m a firm believe in free education. As tution rises and information becomes more freely available. I can’t help but wonder why some College grads I have spoken with say That they either ‘did not expect their degree content’ or ‘regret thier Major choice’.
Now I can’t be blind when discussing jobs or prospects when finicial times are hard and I’m still in school without understanding of “The Real World”
However I can say to my fellow High schooler to consider their Majors a little more carefully. One way some highschoolers (in their last year) can choose their Majors is by using OpenCourseware . This is when elite College post their video recorded lectures online and materials. And this has certainly change my chioces by been able to somewhat preview topics.
That I may be covering next in College has definity helped me in choosing which Courses I can look forward to or stay clear away from. For those who look back with regret its not too late to learn something new and get back into the workfore.
IF your still choosing a Major or Using Opencoursesware Comment below
