text: Seeking someone else's opinion will also help you gain more knowledge on things you might not know much about, but seeking multiple people's opinions will help you gain even more knowledge than one person alone could provide you. Having all that extra knowledge should definitely help someone make a better choice. Before my cousin went to college she asked many people on what major they recommended for her. Many people told her about their majors', and how it went for them. Since she asked so many people for their opinions it helped her learn more about different majors, so she could make a better choice about what major would be best for her.
