About one-half of the students who begin college or university in the U.S. have "undeclared" majors. In other words, they aren't exactly sure what kind of career they would like and take a variety of courses to help narrow their focus. Many institutions encourage undeclared majors and at some, students are not even allowed to list a major at the time they apply. 

   

Personality/Career Assessment

SRVHS students have access to "Do What You Are" a self discovery assessment, which provides useful "Personality Type" information and can point you to careers and college majors specific to your interests. It takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete this assessment.

Log in to Family Connection and select "my personality type." Students in grades 10-12 have all been given log-in information. If you can't remember yours, see your counselor.
