It is my 2nd year studying at a community college and I still don't know what I should major in. I've no idea what I'm good at, but I like art (even though I don't think I have the talent to compete with other art students.) I've asked many people for advice, but all I'm really getting is "just wait...try different classes...etc"
Anyone got any different advice??

P.S. I'm thinking of going to Japan to learn from different perspectives...maybe I'll know what I should do then

Why not major in fine arts and then you can work in a museum as a curator.

Your school probably has or can direct you to a place that can give you a battery of aptitude tests geared to helping you select a career. If not, hit the library, you will find books with tests you can self administer.
Type into your search engine, "Great Jobs for Art Majors." You will find a book that is one of a series for many different majors. You can have an art related career without being highly skilled at drawing, etc.
Talk to the placement person at your school or at the nearest large university and see what sorts of careers THEIR art graduates are getting.
Any of these ideas may lead you to in a direction that will help you see options you didn't know were out there. If something does sound interesting, see if you can find a few people who already do the work you are considering and ask them a couple of quick questions--by phone or mail. "What's the best thing about your job? What's the worst thing? And what's the best path to get to this career?"

Obviously, liberal arts is the way for you to go... if you don't think you have talent... (which I personally think is absurd [no offense] EVERYBODY is good/talented at SOMETHING) try something like producing or something... you can be the behind the scenes person for the artist... whether it be publishing or producing films and music and events...
