“College Majors & Incomes App”

I used APP Lab to create the College Majors & Incomes app that provides students with access to a variety of college majors, incomes and statistics, major’s category, the median/earnings, employed (the amount of graduates with that degree who are employed), unemployed (the amount of graduates with that degree who are unemployed), women (the total number of female graduates with that specific major), men (the total number of male graduates with that specific major), and the total number of US graduates with that specific major, that they can use to apply to their future field of study and career path. This app acts as an application list of which college the student wants to attend in the future by setting key factors to consider when applying to any college or university. To continue, these are key ideas to consider when choosing a college major and I have seen students who are applying to college but are unsure of what to major in which delays their time of reaching their career path. Also, my project works with the key events, selections, iterations, and sequence within the blocks of code that was written to fulfill this app and for the app to work effectively as shown in the video in the previous slide. Also, my app allows students or the user to add their favorite or desired college/universities to their college list and they can use this list to scroll through the different colleges they have in mind and further apply to those colleges on their actual college applications.

Additionally, screen #3 on the right labeled "Screen 3(College List)" displays a text area where students can write the name of the colleges/ universities they want to apply to and attend and they can use the list to scroll through the list and find the right college with that best suits their goals and what the student wants to pursue in the future.
