Basically I love History, Foreign Languages, and English, computers are okay but I don't care that much for them. I was thinking of doing the whole Archeologist [sp] thing but i'm not sure about it. I have to start looking at colleges this year and it would help to know what I want to do. Any advice? Oh and i'm kind of introverted and not really a people person.

My best advice for you is that when looking at colleges, choose a place that has resources/majors/concentrations in all the areas that you are interested in. One of the very neat things about college is that the first two years of any 4 year liberal arts college promotes exploration of various fields and you will have the expertise of your career planning office and faculty advisors to help guide you in the right direction in terms of careers. Some ideas in terms of fields of study that come to mind immediately to help guide you more directly in the path of a career are museum studies, intermational studies and sociology/anthropology. Good luck with whatever you choose!!
P.S. I went to college with every intention of working in broadcasting. I changed my major about 4 times and ultimately ended up doing something completely unrelated to any of those things, but its an experience I never would have found without the exploratory options I had in college.

Teaching is not necessarily a compatible job for an introvert. But it's hard to find a job where you don't deal with people at all--probably not healthy either. You don't need to decide before you enter college; people often change their minds after a year or two. Just find a larger university that has many options so that once you decide, you won't have to transfer. You may find that college helps you become less introverted.

History is a great major. A lot of writing if you love English, and if you go on to get your Masters or Ph. D. it would be really convenient to learn a second or third language in case you study abroad.

I think archaeology would be perfect! That's what I'm going to go in. You can enjoy histroy, read old texts in foreign languages, and English. . .hm. Archaeology sounds so much fun to me! All the excitement of digging things up that haven't been touched by people for hundreds of years.

Maybe being a professor or teacher would be a good job. Its an easy way to integrate all those things together. If you want, as an example, you can go to www.ucf.edu (my university's website) and search through all the different majors they have there and what would interest you. They have just about everything you can think of, so looking through those might help you figure out which ones you like, or at least what you wouldnt like.

Whatever you do forget that first answer. I work at a school district and middle school is the worst. Those kids haven't figured out who they are yet and they all think they have something to prove.

The best thing for you right now is to pay a visit to the student's counsellor and weigh your options with that person.
Atleast you have the right attitute at this point of your career.
All the best for the future !

Become an elementary school teacher so you can teach all of that.
