For many students, it's best to try out different classes to figure out a major you’ll like，but you need to have a couple of solid choices. 3.,you should begin taking courses you are required  to complete before graduation, so it will decrease your chances of needing to switch majors later  because you already know what to expect.

4., you should begin thinking about how your field will lead to a job as soon as possible.Consider clubs, research programs and part-time jobs related to potential career choices for your major.

For more career-specific majors like nursing and engineering, the majority of your studies will include skills that can be used in a future job.5.. The sooner you begin working in a lab, on research projects or helping as a teaching assistant for a professor, the better you'll be able to figure out your career.

A. You have to think of ways to choose a major

B.Be sure that you choose a major that suits your interests

C.Once you have a better idea of which major you like best

    Feelingsoftenrun high where insects are concerned,with many people even sick when seeing them, let alone touch or swallow them.And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing globalpopulation seeks more sources of food and feed.

Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmentalfootprints than traditional alternatives,and they can be raised on leftovers.But cultural,social and economicproblems remain,reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.

“Insects present a nutritional opportunity,but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced bywhat they are fed,”says Darja Dobermann,a researcher at the University of Nottingham.“In idealconditions,insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”

“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the foodor feed systems,but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems withoutthem turning into a more expensive version of poultry（家禽）for food,” says Dobermann.

The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa,up to 50% of dietary protein has comefrom insects,with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.

Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate,preferably in predictably large quantities.They are consumed at various life stages,as raw,fried,boiled, roasted or ground food.
