If you’re a college graduate, you likely went to school to pursue an important passion of yours. But as we all know, what we major in has consequences that extend far beyond the foundation of knowledge we build in our early years. Any program we choose to enroll in also sets up a track to meet future friends, career opportunities, and connections. Would you change your mind if you found this chart before you enroll in your current university?

I don't think I would have changed my mind. I changed my major five times as it was but I am happy where I ended up.

Hi Fishes, I have joined my current company in July this year, but things are not as going as expected. I am planning to switch again. Please share your thoughts. Working in automotive research and consulting, total yoe 6+.

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?
