Hi Maurice,
I can help you with choosing a major. All that switching career
paths... It really teaches you a lot about how to plan your future...
I've also done some of those assessments, so I am comfortable speaking
about them.
I might be able to help you with the others, so feel free to contact
me off list because I have some ideas for you for presenters.
