Janeth Mancha, a high school senior at MESA High School in Colorado, said she originally wanted to major in theater. But thanks to her state’s new data-based online college choice tool, she quickly realized a double major in both theater and business was a better option.
“I had a reality check in what I wanted to do,” said Mancha about Colorado’s “Launch My Career” tool. “When I saw my return on investment [ROI] for theater was negative, I realized that maybe that wasn’t my best option. From that day on, I thought about other things that I love to do, and how I can incorporate my passion for theater in another career.”
