I am unsure about what I want to go for in college. I was wondering if you can tell me which makes more money. Astrology, Historians, graphic designer, Art.

If you are choosing your career based on how much money you will make at a given job, you are choosing poorly, IMHO. College is about finding out what interests you, what you LIKE to do, rather than what you can do that makes money.
If you want to do work where you make a lot of money, go into business, pre-med, or pre-law, and go for the really big dollars. However, if you want to do something you LIKE, explore all of the areas that you mention, and see which one you like the best. Perhaps art appeals to you most of all. Perhaps it will be history. College will help you find that out. Or, perhaps, college will teach you that it really is money that you are after, and that none of the above fit the salary range you are looking for.
I went to college as a math major, and ended up teaching law. Quite a difference, and if you had told me when I went to college that I would be a law professor, I would have laughed!
Good Luck!

Of the three, probably the graphic designer, but...if I were starting over (and this is what I told my own teens), I'd pick the major I found most interesting AND try to not make it too narrow.
When it comes to finding a job, most employers care that you have a degree, but not so much which major. Your major is only really important if you plan to go onto graduate school.
It is unrealistic to expect an 18 year old to pick a major that the rest of their life will depend on. There are so many career options out there that you never even thought of, and each year technology changes and new careers are born.
Things like a multimedia specialist, network technician or software engineer did not exist when I started college. So down the road, you could be doing anything.
So you might as well study something you love. You'll do better (gradewise) and you'll enjoy college a lot more.
As to me...I started in fashion design and business, dropped the fashion and added electrical engineering. I make my living these days (and have done a lot of very different things over my career) writing and doing financial planning. I'm getting ready to go back to school for another degree, this time in archeology. Why? Because it is interesting to me.
So....choose your passion. Your career will follow.

I would have to say graphic designer. Since pretty much every company has a website these days I would say it would be much easier to land a job. The others might take you a while to find something that you would really like and would make you good money.

I think graphic designer makes a whole lot more money than historian or art. as a graphic designer you can work for Lexus, GM, Ford, just to mention some. You can design and created web sites for online gaming and even hired for designing electronicgames and more.

there is a chance that none of these will produce a significant amount of income. also, your categories are very broad. for example, you could be a fine arts dealer and make a lot of money or a starving artist and live hand to mouth. if you are the best at any of them you can do well. if you are average you will make average money.

It's relative to how hard you work and what your personality is that is to say if you are mean you may want to work alone and if you are people person with others. Once you pick your field that will be your education and if you hate it later you will be forced to work out of your field which is a challenge. I recommend engineering, accounting or law all are good educations that pay a respectable wage.
Good luck.

It really depends on how good you are as a astrology,or being a graphic designer. It depends where you put your work into.
