Fastweb.com- This helps with school and money for school. Or I think its Newsweek that comes out with a "Best Colleges" publication every now and then. Also visit some of the colleges in your area. That's how I found out about my school. I just graduated from Devry University and that is a pretty good college but expensive. Also do a search on the Internet. As far as your course of study do what feels natural what you are good at. Start off with Liberal Arts courses until you know for sure.
I wish you the best! Good Luck!!!!

It is very difficult to decide a career and I understand your dilemma. There are career counselors available at college to help you with your decision and their services are free. Also, there are many liberal arts courses in a bachelors degree, and that is intended to expose you to several areas. You also will discover what you love (and dislike) in the process!
I suggest you take your unofficial transcript to a college advisor in Student Services, and also make an appointment to meet with a career counselor.
Best wishes.

Maybe take a couple community college classes that seem interesting to you and if you find a class that you really like, maybe you could look into that carreer. There are some carreers that you will never be able to make a lot of money doing, and there are other carreers that you can make tons of cash, but are shady or take a lot of school to get into. Depends what you want in life.

I also recommend that you buy or look at the Fiske Guide to Colleges (local or school library) and consider subscribing to the premium content online at US News and World Report's College Rankings site.
You need to think about your preferences re: things like: location, size, quality of education, quality of life, availability of activities and/or sports in which you're interested, what majors are available, liberal arts vs. more specialized, etc. www.collegeboard.com and the princeton review site can help you narrow down your search a bit. Of course, you also need to take into consideration what type of school your "credentials" will get you into...and think about "reach schools" vs. "likelies" and "safety schools."
You should speak with your high school's college counselor, as well. They should be in a position to help you with this.

Go in as "undecided". No one says you have to delare a major to get into college. Most people change their major anyway. And choose colleges by touring campuses, and seeing where you feel you belong. when you get there, you'll know.
