Before Choosing a College, Answer This One Question

Meme of SpongeBob mocking the idea of picking a college major without clarity, highlighting that only 27% of grads work in their degree field.

SpongeBob knows the struggle: picking a major without career clarity is a dangerous leap.

Here’s the truth: only 27% of graduates actually work in the field of their degree. The rest spend years—and thousands of dollars—studying something they never use. Jumping into college without clarity is like leaping off a cliff while trying to strap on your parachute mid-air. That’s why career exploration and passion-finding should come before picking a school or a major. College is too expensive to gamble with.
