Your student keeps hearing “What’s your major?” but the smarter question might be “What’s your mix?” In this episode, Vicki and Sarah explore the real value of college minors—what they are, how they fit inside a standard 120-credit path, and why four to six targeted courses can shift confidence, sharpen skills, and make a resume pop. We talk through mixing theory and hands-on learning, using minors to complement or contrast a major, and crafting a degree that tells a clear story about curiosity and capability. Advising matters more than ever. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with another college parent, and leave a quick review so more families can find it."FreshStart!" is our second semester support series sent by email to your student Thank you for listening!
