And many students who enter college with a major, change it during the course of their studies. Don’t panic! Assistance is available to you. Southeastern Community College offers career counseling FREE of charge. You can complete the Career Key online at www.cfnc.org or the Self Directed Search, which is available in the Admissions/Counseling Office. Both are free of charge and easy to use.
