Fishing for a Major
by Julio Machado, Mike Yank & the SHS Editors
"Fishing for a Major is a great book for teens and students going through this overwhelming process. The book offers many strategies on selecting the appropriate courses, taking advantage of advising programs, getting the most out of classes, getting relevant and helpful advice, and evaluating all of your available options."
-- Reading Eagle Voices

"Looking to pick a major soon myself, I thought this guide touched on many of the questions and fears that we as students have while facing this decision. The brainstorming templates helped me a lot!"
Sophomore, Brown University
"I thought this was a thorough and helpful guide for its subject matter. It is particularly nice since it's written from the perspective of a current undergrad."
Recent Grad, Carleton College
