"I came to HPU 3 years ago to pursue an education in Nursing. During the spring semester in my 2nd year, I realized that Nursing was not for me. I knew that it was a field I did not want to get into, but I was undecided on what I should change my major to.

I went to see an academic advisor. He informed me of a survey at the Career Services Center (CSC) that would help me find a career that I will be happy and productive in. Thus he suggested that I see a career counselor and arranged an appointment for me. 

Since then, I have been going to the CSC. It has been extremely helpful. The staff is very friendly, easy to talk to, and always willing to help. After an assessment test, my counselor walked me through my skills and interests. With my results as a confirmation, I decided to change my major to Travel Industry Management. I am happy with my new major; not only do I do well in my classes, but I also get to meet people from around the world and professionals in the industry. It has been a wonderful experience for me."
