what to take in college?

Question

I am having alot of trouble figuring out what I want to take in college. I had done Office Admin, but found sitting at a desk all day is kinda boring. I'd rather be doing something, I kinda like working at Tim Hortons more than where I am now lol. I've always wanted to be a pet groomer but Im not sure. I like animals, I like to work on cars n things, I like to try and help ppl, I think I need something thats not too overworked but something that I will enjoy doing later in life. I also liked comso when I was in highschool, though I didnt like to do perms lmao! If any of you can help me that'd be great or even if you know some links to a site that has some sort of multi qustionaire or something that could help give me an idea...thanks again.

If you are still in school, see the counselor about taking the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory or something similar. It compares your interests with those of successful people in many careers. If your interests match, the theory is that you will also be successful in those careers. If you are just starting college, take general courses and some courses in different areas to see if any of them appeal to you. You need 2 years of general education courses anyway.
