Baby23 1 Posted April 4, 2013 Hello everyone I have a question. I am just applying for college and now the big decision comes in. What am I majoring in? Hard decision, but I feel like a Government Social Worker its something I would really love to do. Now the question is Can I work for the Federal Government? I got approved for DACA a few months ago.

splif0clock 89 Posted April 4, 2013 Go for it man. If that is what you like, don't let your current immigration status stop you. Besides, you are just starting so you have another at least 4 more years to go. God only knows what your immigration status would be by then, maybe you might even be a PR by then . FYI, some gov posts don't require clearance depending where you work and what type of work you do. G'luck with everything. 2 roadrunner11 and Santi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santi 353 Posted April 4, 2013 My suggestion - Develop a shortlist of careers you would like to pursue...you have at least 2 semesters to declare your major, because the first 2 years are composed of requirements (college algebra, History, Biology, etc etc). So don't rush it... Make sure you know what it is that feel like doing for a long time, or that gives you the flexibility to pursue what is that you want do. But, most importantly, major in what makes you happy and be the BEST at it...period! 2 roadrunner11 and MoniqueMelissa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner11 167 Posted April 5, 2013 I agree with both splif and santi - Pursue the career that interests you regardless of the immagration status at this point. When I went to college I had no hope of becoming legal and still I did what I LOVE I am grateful I was given the chance to attend college and not let the status hold me back. Life is unpredictable and full of suprises. Best wishes and take classes that interest you regardless of being pre-requisites for your major or not. 1 Santi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
