Which field would be best for me to major in?

Question

I have many things I would like to do. I'm only in ninth grade, but I'm one of those people who like to plan ahead. Here are the few things I'm thinking about. I want to know the ups and downs of them. I'm good at English/Literature/History, but I'm awful at Science and Math. I have 'okay' people skills, although they could be better.

Journalism.
Pediatric Oncologist.
Acting/Drama.
Physical Therapy.
Art collector.

Oh, and I would like to play an instrument for Broadway.

Age does not matter in maturity.

Well, see, I would play in the yard. But then I freak because I'm not studying or whatever or working on my 'future career'. It's an addiction, I can't help it. I have to know what I want to do in my life.

I've been working on learning Irish Gaelic. There aren't many now who speak it, but there are a few traditional cities that do. I was considering going into Medieval Studies and minoring in Spanish, but I'm not sure yet.

Answer 1

Problem is, most us analyze ourselves to death to find a major. That could be a big pitfall. It actually just blocks you from realizing your true need, the thing you are so passionate about that your creativity in it just flows. You work on it for hours on end without wanting to quit, without feeling tired. You go to sleep thinking about what you will do tomorrow with it, when you get up. Its a passion you feel without anxiety. You experience love for what you're doing.
Sounds like music is doing that for you. Go through the motions in highschool. Get the grades in your english and math etc. But take your free time to practice the heck out of your instrument. In four years, you'll be in a music conservatory perfecting your skills or you may even already be on Broadway. Whatever you do, don't let anything or any person distract away from what you love to do. Good luck!

Answer 2

If you hate science you probably want to stay away from most specialized professions in the medical field.
Of the chioces you listed above, and based on the description of yourself, possibly journalism.
If you like english and history and the such, have you ever considered majoring in a foreign language or international studies.
There is high demand & short supply of many foreign language experts and there will always be a place for someone knoweledgable in international studies.
You could always double major in a language (or international studies) amd journalism (or literature).

Answer 3

You're in ninth grade? Go play in the yard, enjoy being a mall rat, and soak up the care-free life while you can. Committing yourself to a major (even internally, to yourself) could only possibly do you more harm than good at this point in your life.

Answer 4

i would go ahead with theatre/drama since it has nothing to do with math or science you will need to know English/Literature/History to accel in theatre because youll know the playwrights and their work and working with other actors will help your people skills cause they're dramatic

Answer 5

not physical therapy..... you need to be good in math and science... believe me, that's what I'm thinking about majoring in.. I have one year left then I will be in college. But right now its a pass between pathologist or physical Therapy..

Answer 6

wherever your heart takes you. Whichever one truly is a passion above the others!! I wish you all the luck in the world.
