2.0 out of 5 stars Informative but Not Very Helpful, May 7, 2009

This review is from: How to Choose a College Major, revised and updated edition (Paperback)
This book does offer some good information on college majors that our out there. If you are looking for information about majors and possible jobs associated with that major, this is the book for you. However, if you are looking for a book to help you decide on a specific major by evaluating interests (as the title implies), this book is extremely lacking. The message of this book can be summed up like this: "If you aren't sure about what to major in, take a variety of courses until you find a subject that interests you. If you fall asleep in history, maybe history isn't your thing. Also, don't be afraid to change your major, most students going into college don't know what there major will be and end up changing it at least once or twice." I got the same advice from friends, family, and student advisers; didn't really need to spend time or money reading common-sense advice that I already knew.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much there, December 3, 2008
By R. Estes "bobestesma" (Somerville, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Choose a College Major, revised and updated edition (Paperback)
I bought this book to help my son figure out what he wanted to major in. It was a disappointment: very basic and skimpy (wide margins, few pages). A major section was just word-for-ford transcriptions of what various colleges say in their catalogs (and online) about the different majors. I had thought it would be more meaty with more details about what engineers, say, actually do and what kind of people might like engineering etc. I guess for someone just beginning (high school sophomore?) to think about college, it might be of some value. I meant to return it for a refund, but the price was low enough that my motivation proved insufficient.
