WeeHan, 18, is a student at a senior college in New York City. She is undecided on her academic major. In high school, she developed strong skills in science and math.
In fact, she took advanced placement courses and received numerous college credits for her work. Despite her skills in math and science, she does not particularly enjoy those disciplines. In the ninth grade, WeeHan participated in a city arts after-school program. She learned how to paint, work with metal sculptures, and do wheel throwing. In the following years of high school, she took art electives whenever she could fit them into her schedule. Her passion is in studio arts. WeeHan's parents have always been supportive of her. They want her to pursue what she is interested in.
However, they are keenly aware of the job market for employees in the 6 technology industry. She is exploring majors in the following areas: electrical engineering, computer science, studio arts, and theatre arts.
•How might WeeHan proceed with her decision-making process? You may be in a similar situation, or know of a friend who has skills in one area but strong interests in another.
