What are your interests? What do you think you might want to do? Most people change their majors several times before they declare it in their junior year. You should try out a variety of things that interest you and talk to your counselors about it, too. You can change your major many times. Exploring is the best way to find out.

What do you want? Do you want to make money? Do you want to take courses that interest you, but the money won't be great in the future? Sit down and write out a list on what you expect to get from going to college. Then write a list about possible connections in your field. If you have connections, family or close friends, even a mentor teacher, you could land a good job. If you don't most likely you'll get stuck working the nine to five grind.
Also I know a lot of confused students major in pyschology. You could always be a social worker, rewarding profession, although the money is so-so.

I strongly urge EVERY college freshman to NOT declare a major right away. The average student changes majors at least twice. This means that they do not graduate on time and waste money on things they ultimately do not enjoy. I suggest that you take core classes your freshman year AND that you choose one elective (also called "humanities" at some schools) each semester that you think sounds interesting. Core classes are there not only to build a foundation, but to enlighten students to paths they might better enjoy. Wait until your sophomore year to declare a major. You will probably find something you enjoy by the end of your freshman or middle of your sophomore year.

I have three college age children of my own. Be patient, they have all changed their minds at least twice. Just start college as "undecided" and take general classes first. If you have an idea of what you want to go into at all, take a class in that area. It will help you make up your mind if it is what you want to do. You have at least three years before you have to declare a major in most colleges anyway.

Many people take a year or even two to take classes in different subjects before choosing a major. Or start something and you can always switch. I had a roommate who switched majors 7 times. Many courses count for a number of requirements in a lot of different areas so you don't need to worry about getting in specific classes right away.

some majors are very strict. meaning, that beginning your freshman year you have to begin taking classes for your major. some classes allow you to be a little more lenient. however, think of what interests you, and any areas you're interested in. for instance if you like medicine, just start taking core chemistry and biology classes and you can determine EXACTLY what you want to be later in college. if you want to do something in business, take business classes, etc, etc.

Take a few classes and see what you like. You dont have to pick a major right away... take classes that you are interested in.
