I am confused about my major and the profession field I will get too

7 min read16 viewsMar 31, 2026|

Choosing a major and figuring out what career path it leads to is one of the most stressful decisions you can face — especially when it feels like everyone around you already has it figured out (spoiler: they don't). You're not alone in feeling confused, and it's actually a sign that you're thinking carefully about your future rather than just going with the flow.

The good news is that there are ways to explore your options, understand yourself better, and make a more informed decision — without spending weeks buried in career guides or paying for expensive counseling sessions.

How Springbase Solves This

01

AI-Powered Career Exploration Chats Think of Springbase as a really smart friend who knows about hundreds of careers, majors, and industries. You can have a conversation with AI and ask things like "What careers can I get with a psychology degree?" or "I like math and helping people — what should I study?" and get thoughtful, detailed answers instantly.

02

Knowledge Base for Research You can upload career guides, university brochures, course catalogs, or even articles about different professions into your own personal Knowledge Base. Then you can ask questions across all of them — like "Which of these majors has the best job prospects?" or "Compare computer science vs. data science career paths." The AI reads everything and gives you answers with references to the actual documents.

03

Ready-Made Recipes for Self-Discovery Springbase has reusable prompt templates called Recipes that you can customize. You can use (or create) Recipes for things like skills assessments, career matching quizzes, pros-and-cons analyses, and even interview prep — all powered by AI. Just fill in a few details about yourself, and the AI does the heavy lifting.

04

Meeting Notes for Conversations with Mentors If you talk to career counselors, professors, or professionals in fields you're interested in, you can record those conversations (with their permission) and Springbase will automatically transcribe and summarize them. It pulls out key advice, action items, and decisions so you never lose valuable guidance.

Step-by-Step Implementation

01

Sign up for Springbase and start a new chat.

Tell the AI about your interests, strengths, subjects you enjoy, and what kind of lifestyle you want. Ask it to suggest majors and career paths that fit.

02

Create a Knowledge Base project called something like "Career Research." Upload any materials you've collected — university brochures, career guides, salary reports, course descriptions, or articles about professions you're curious about.

03

Chat with your Knowledge Base by mentioning your project using @Career-Research. Ask comparison questions like "Which of these fields has the most growth?" or "What skills do I need for a career in UX design?"

04

Build a few Recipes for repeated use — like a "Career Fit Analysis" Recipe where you plug in your interests and get a structured breakdown of matching careers, required education, salary ranges, and day-to-day responsibilities.

05

Record mentor conversations using the Meetings feature.

After each call with a counselor, professor, or working professional, review the AI-generated summary and action items to keep track of advice.

06

Revisit and refine as you learn more about yourself.

Your Knowledge Base grows with you, and you can keep chatting with the AI as your thinking evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know what I want before using Springbase?

Not at all — that's the whole point. You can start with something as vague as "I like helping people and I'm decent at math" and the AI will help you explore from there. The more you chat, the clearer things get.

Can Springbase actually give me good career advice, or is it just generic information?

Because you can upload real documents — like specific university course catalogs, industry reports, or salary data for your region — the AI gives you answers grounded in actual information, not just generic advice. It also cites where it got its answers so you can verify everything.

How long does it take to set up?

You can start chatting with AI about career options within minutes of signing up. Building a Knowledge Base with uploaded documents takes just a few more minutes. There's no technical setup involved — if you can drag and drop a file, you're good to go.

Is this free to try?

Springbase offers a free tier so you can explore the platform and see if it's helpful before committing. You can start chatting, create Knowledge Bases, and try Recipes without paying anything upfront.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes, Springbase works on mobile devices. You can even record conversations with mentors using the audio upload feature on your phone and get automatic transcriptions and summaries.
