While there, people will probably ask you:
What are you interested in
What do you want to major in.?
What do you want to do for a living ?
.. And Since Most of You Didnt Have an Answer..

There are no right or wrong answers.

Go with your first instincts. No one answer will affect your
results, so try to give the first answer that comes to mind

Your answers should be based on whether you have an
INTEREST in something, not if you have an ABILITY or SKILL
in something.

Dont let COST or SALARY be a factor in your answers.

Allow 10-15 minutes to complete the assessment.
