The bachelor programs are generally broad, and this confuses many people. There are hundreds of programs offered by different universities, and each of the programs is significant in career building. The program taken by an individual is based on interests and plans. However, on the 92 majors highlighted, I am interested in software engineering (programming), civil engineering, physics, and nursing and mathematics. I believe these five bachelor programs are essential and can provide a career path for me. I am interested in pursuing a high degree in any of these programs because they can open a career for me in the future.

I am most interested in programming, civil engineering, physics, mathematics, and nursing. Programming is a growing career path, and it provides a lot of opportunities for software developers. The demand for applications and other software or systems is high, and it keeps growing due to advanced technology. I believe the program will not only provide a career for me, but it is something I love, and I will do as fun whether for employment or to have fun and grow the industry. Again, the field of technology is still not exhausted as other and anyone who is innovative can succeed in the field. I believe I am very innovative, and therefore, pursue a course in programming will open opportunities for me. My second choice is civil engineering because I love designing and I would love to spend my time designing projects, especially in the construction industry. The field of the construction industry is growing, and civil engineering would lay down the foundation for me to join the field. I want to pursue mathematics because it is the foundation of most majors, and with majors, I will be involved in economics and financial planning. I am interested in physics based on the fact that I would love to study the universe and spend my time researching kinematics, oscillations, and dynamics.
