- Overdoing It
Encourage your child to register for a standard course load and concentrate on doing well in those courses. Employer won’t be impressed for how many courses were taken at once. When studying a double major be sure they make sense together (business and Mandarin Chinese, physics and mathematics, or social work and psychology, for example), employers won’t be solely fascinated by the grade point averages.
Remember, college is about earning a degree, making lifelong friends and exploring interests; keep this in mind when choosing courses for the semester.
