well during your first years in college, you take general courses that are required of everyone. you shouldnt rush, you will find something that really sparks your interest one day. your still young and you could change your mind in the future. especially since your not even sure now. wait until your ready

It is very common not to know what you want to do, especially at your age. Even college students often have trouble trying to figure out what they want to do. That's okay, because the perfect job for you may not yet have been invented - keep in mind that right now you still have seven years to go until you graduate from college, and a lot can change in that time.
My advice would be to challenge yourself in high school and take classes which will push you to achieve as much as possible. Don' t take easy classes, because they are sure A's; take the tough English, math, and science classes. Take a foreign language, as much of it as you can; it will serve you well in your life. Get involved in a variety of activities and look at your life as an opportunity to experience as much as possible. You will end up with confidence in your abilities and skills which will get you into a wide variety of college.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do after high school, so I enrolled in community college and started taking basic classes, math, english..etc. No matter what your major is you'll need these general education classes anyways. They ususally transfer to bigger universities, but do some research and find out all of the information. You still have some time, so really think about what you would want to do with the rest of your life. They say it's not actually work if you love your job.

You have PLENTY of time! another year before you should be thinking too hard about this.
College is tough but REALLY fun as well, for dorks as well as for partiers.
You won't have to pick your major until after your first year of college anyways, so don't worry about "what you want to do IN college" -- just consider whether or not you want to go and work towards it as best you can today. Do your best and worry about that stuff when it comes time to do so -- there will be plenty of time to worry about it later!
You will become more aware of your own interests as you go through the next two years anyways, so don't expect to have the same perspective then as now -- if you don't know what you want to do now, don't worry -- you will have a much more clear picture of it when it's time to consider specifics!

They have tests they can give you in high school to determine what you would be good at. Talk to your counselor.
After two years of college, I still did not know what I wanted to do, and I never imagined I would be doing what I am doing now.

Relax about it and don't stress out. You've got 2 more years.
Here's some stuff you can think about that'll help you though. Ask yourself about things you want regarding your ideal college. Such as:
Religion
Size (the smallest college you can get is 1,200 and the biggest is about 60,000)
Cost (how much your family can pay)
How far away you want to go from home
Co-ed or single-sex
www.xap.com is a good place to start once you figure out those.
