You haven't given much to go on. You can go a soft or hard route. By soft I mean liberal arts, political science, history, something that sounds good, but for what. A hard science is math, engineering, business. Things that you really have to study for. If you are just planning to raise a family go the soft way. If you really want a career you have to think of things you like, what do you like as a hoby, what would you do if money wasn't important, decide from there.
If all else fails, flip a coin.

Make it a compromise between what interests you and what you can actually find a job in the area you want to live at. If what you like the most already has abundant job opportunities then that's great too. Don't do something you don't really like just for the money, though. It sounds good at first but you will be miserable. Some degrees like business are very broad and you will be able to do lots of things w/them, so think about that too....or you can always double major or minor in something else.

Do not worry! I am thirty four and still trying to decide what to be when I grow up! LOL! Seriously, it is not an easy decision, so maybe you might want to go with something that you can easily choose many options with - social work or human services for example. If this interests you, you may get a bacehlor in psychology and then go on to get an MA and who knows, maybe a doctorate? There is so much to choose from. You are still young so the sky is the limit!

Declare "Liberal Studies". Take classes that look interesting to you, and when you find the field that interests you, change majors.
I changed majors 7 times.
College is about expanding your horizons, not limiting your chances.
I have a degree in History with minors in Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Anthropology. I don't work in any of those fields.
Learn all you can about all you can!!!!!!
Oh, and have fun!

How about scheduling an appointment with a career counselor at your school's career center. They can be very helpful, trust me. They have many resources available to help students choose a major.

What are your talents and interests? If you like computers and treat them like an extension of yourself, you should major in computer science. Or if you like the idea of running a business, you should go for the business degree.
