How can I choose a right major for myself because I don't know what I like to do?

Question

I canno find a goal for my future, and I'm not intreseted in any things. I have no idea about my future work. Please give me some advise. I hate the majors about economy or business.

Answer 1

A lot of schools allow you to register as undeclared. This way you can start working through the required courses and then move into what you are interested in. Just make sure that you correctly select between a BA and a BS, since the core requirements often differ between those two areas.

If you are truly unsure of what you want to do, you can also spend some time at a community college. This way you can finish your Associate's Degree, and then specialize in something later.

Answer 2

Alot of people start college thinking they like/dislike things, and then find out the opposite......Used to feel the same way about economics & business (still sort of feel the same way about economics). Went to a community college first & got an associates degree in something unrelated, but in the process learned that I did like business law, computers & accounting. Go figure. Never would have guessed. Transferred to a 4 year school & more than 1/2 of my credits transferred, still have the associates, and now have a bachelors in business (there are many variations).

Go to a community college or undeclared at a university & take a variety of classes that fulfill required classes for all majors (sometimes referred to as core classes). You might really be surprised at what you end up liking.

Find a school that offers a wide array of majors so if you change your mind you can still use your accumulated credits. Look at large state schools.

Answer 3

unless you are pretty good at school despite being disinterested, I wouldn't recommend to go to college unless for some reason you get free tuition. You are only going to acquire a ton of debt and only maybe you will figure out what you like to do.
I'd rather try to get some life experience, just work a couple of jobs, as you don't seem to be particular anything you can get is probably OK. Gives you time thinking and time figuring out what you want and also exposes you to different experiences Unless you job exhausts you, try volunteering in your spare time, trying can range from helping in pet shelters to things like habitat for humanity. Try as many different things as possible. Somewhere there should be something which clicks for you.
Also go and set up meeting with an advisor at school, maybe that gives you an idea. Are there any subjects at school you are good at? You prefer desk jobs or hands on. You seem to have some ideas what you dislike at least.

Answer 4

In many schools you do not have to declare a major until the end of your sophomore year. After you have had more time to think things over and exerience more different topics, then you may have a much better idea about what you want to do.

One piece of advice -- no matter whether you like a subject or not, you have to work hard at it and do well in the course. Eventually you will enter the job market -- would you want to hire someone that only tries hard on work that they think is fun?

Answer 5

all of the advice above seems pretty good, but here's another way to look at it: figure out what you don't like doing and they ask yourself why? you say you hate business & the economy, why is that? is it because you don't think you can express your creativity? think about experiences in your life (work related or not) that you have enjoyed or not, and then dig deeper into why you feel the way you do.

you could also ask the opinions of people you think know you well, but remember, only you can decide what you really want to do.

Answer 6

You're not interested in ANYTHING? Wow, I would hate to be you. You've got to be interested in something, even if it doesn't seem like it would lead to a career. For example, if you like helping friends with their problems, you might like being a counselor, or if you like playing video games, you might like to design them, or if you like shopping, you might be interested in fashion or interior design.

Have you started college yet? If not, then it's going to be really hard to know what you're interested in--colleges offer many more classes in different areas than high schools do. You might think something like anthropology sounds boring just from a description, but you don't have any experience with it yet. When you get to college, take lots of different kinds of classes to find out what you like.

Even if you don't know what you want to do, you probably have a good idea of what you definitely DON'T want to do, right? Definitely not economics or business--that's a good start! Grab a list of the majors your college offers and start crossing things off, even if they seem obvious. Eventually, you'll see what's left over, and you can choose some classes in those areas to see if you might like them.

And you know what? You don't have to go to college. Maybe it wouldn't be right for you right now. If you truly don't like anything and don't have a passion for anything, maybe you shouldn't be there. After a while out in the real world, school might start looking exciting again. You're young--you have plenty of time to fix your career if you screw it up!

Answer 7

Greetings!

Since half of your courses will be electives regardless of your major, start school anyway. It will be an advantage for you to take a variety of courses which then will be electives while perhaps piquing your interest in a possible major.

Good Luck
