You don't have to be a super hero to have super powers. Everyone has strengths. In fact, knowing your natural talents, skills, abilities and personal accomplishments will bring you one step closer to choosing a major. Many career counselors recommend choosing a major that uses your strengths.

Some strengths make tasks feel almost effortless such as good eye-hand coordination, reasoning skills or understanding information. Other strengths can be developed and improved over time, like learning to budget your money or to solve everyday problems. Skills often require some form of instruction and practice such as desktop publishing or applying geometry. The point is that you can continue to acquire and build your skills throughout your life.
