If your major is computer science, Dustin Henderson is your guy! From decoding messages from the Russians to making sure the walkie-talkies work, if you need something technological, he’s got it. Dustin is always making sure that everything is up and running for the group’s missions in the Upside Down. Just like Dustin, you are nerdy, clever, and always have a solution!

Psychology

Psychology is all about the mind. While you aren’t able to control people or objects with yours, like Eleven, that doesn’t make you any less powerful. You are very inquisitive, and you pay attention to human behavior. Just like Eleven, you understand people’s emotions on a deeper level, and that is your greatest gift!

Pre-Med

Nancy Wheeler is definitely on the pre-med track! Just like Nancy, you are driven by specifics. You need direct answers, and you will do extensive hours of research to find them. As a pre-med student, you are naturally curious and disciplined. Don’t wait for the Demogorgon to get you—be like Nancy and figure out ways to stop it.

Social Work

If social work is your passion, you are just like Joyce Byers! You are a natural protector, and you would do anything for those you care about. Even if other people disagree with you, you’re a strong advocate for the voiceless, and you’re there when the system fails them. You might not be as emotional as Joyce, but you’re definitely a sweetheart. You feel responsible for others, and just like Joyce, you are the “mom” of the group.

Business

Steve Harrington screams business major. For one, Steve always has a job. He has always made the most of his free time. Just like Steve, you’re a people person. You’re a smooth talker, and you know how to win the group over. Becoming a salesperson would be a great fit for you! You aren’t afraid to take on a leadership role, and you’re able to adapt to change.

Was your major mentioned? If so, you are serving main-character energy! Just like these characters, it’s their personality that makes them perfect for the major. If you haven’t already, you can watch the first half of Season 5 on Netflix today! Stay tuned for more portals, monsters, and nosebleeds!
