I am eager to begin college but I have no clue what I want to major in! How can I decide?

Question

I don't have anything in particular that I just LOVE to do. I am good with computers, I like kids, I like being in charge rather than taking orders but there is no one thing I am great at. I have put off starting college for long enough but I don't want to start and drop out because I don't know what I want to do. HELP! I want to start some core classes online but I am just not sure what direction to go in. Is there any hope for me....?

Answer 1

You are blessed to go to college as it's expensive and not all ppl go.

Few ppl can be entrepreneurs (Bill Gates) and just start their careers. Others like you, may need to use college to find out what they have talent in while getting education to make themselves more marketable. Others have a trade in mind like engineering, architecture, nursing.

I would say "Nursing", "Pharmacy" is a great field with many possibilities in the future. This reaches wide area's of society. You could be a nurse for a sports franchise (like football) ... at a hospital ... a traveling nurse (they travel anywhere they want) ... a nurse for a plastic surgeon. Possibilities are endless.

Answer 2

Some people have a hard time deciding what to major in, but it's no big deal... just start you classes and see if there is anything that might spark your interests. If you love computers, children, and being in charge, mybe you should consider child psycology or doing a business major with a minor in child psyc... you could start your own daycare, be your own boss.. but the best thing to do is to figure out what really sparks your interest and work from there. Have an undecided major until you can pick out what you think best suits you. Lots of college students do this. I hope you have a pleasant experience and Good Luck!!

Answer 3

You kinda sounded like me, when I was in undergrad. I never had a real passion for anything, except whatever i did, I wanted to help people feel better, whether its emotional or health-related. So still in confusion, I went ahead and majored in Psychology and graduated with a BA. I worked in the field for about 8 months and came to a revelation to become a nurse. Now I'm back in school taking pre-reqs for nursing school.
I would advise you to just take your core classes and explore career choices. Talk to a career counselor and see if that helps. And if you graduate in something and unsatisfied with that, go back to school and major in something else. One thing about education, there's always room to grow.

Answer 4

Go Undecided Major and do your core classes. That gives you another year to figure it out. In that time, talk with your friends at school and see what they're doing, talk with your councellor, research job fields, etc...
