How to Choose a Major If You’re Good at Many Subjects

Some students struggle not because they lack options, but because they have too many. Being good at multiple subjects can make choosing harder.

Why This Is Common

High-performing students often:

• Excel in different subjects

• Feel pressure to “choose wisely”

• Fear making the wrong decision

This creates indecision.

Look at Enjoyment, Not Just Ability

Ask yourself:

• Which subjects energize me?

• Which ones feel draining over time?

Enjoyment matters for long-term success.

Consider the Learning Process

Focus on:

• Teaching style

• Assessment methods

• Daily workload

These often matter more than subject names.

Using Guidance to Narrow Options

From our experience at Rawa, structured discussions help students narrow choices confidently without regret.
