i cant find something to major in....?

Question

i have originally planned to study neurology, because its intriguing and it pays really well. but im not sure thats what i want to do anymore. im a junior in high school. im in the AP program and my scholastic interests and talents are in the following subjects: art, history, english, journalism, photography, math, & science.
i love to travel. i love art, and history (i take advanced classes in those two subjects just because i enjoy them, not because i have to). i just dont know what to do. i want a stable career taht pays well, but one that ill enjoy. medicine...im not sure i can handle the daily routines...and plus the amount of money & the 16yrs of school...not my cup of tea. any suggestions? pleaseeeee help me!!! thanks (:

some things to point out that i forgot to mention: i cant paint/draw/scribble to save my life...i just enjoy studying art, not creating it. and secondly, ill have finished 2 yrs of college before i graduate high school next year due to advanced placement classes and dual-enrollment with the community college, so i will be starting out in college in my 3rd year...

Answer 1

An English degree has a lot of opportunities for high paying jobs such as copy editors and technical writers. The hours are about average, the salaries are high, and the work generally isn't stressful.
A neurologist can sometimes make 6 figures a year but the hours are long and the work can be stressful though it's mostly routine.
If art is your talent, ask your art teacher about the jobs situation in the field. You could consider graphic design, which pays well if you are exceptional at it. Which you might be, since you list art first in your list.
History teachers can make great salaries, but you have to go wherever the job takes you. That might not be somewhere you want to live. A PhD in history will get you 6 figures in some parts of the country. Plus you can write nonfiction books for additional income.
If you really like math do some research about NASA employment opportunities. The pay is very high and it's enjoyable work.
Good luck!

Answer 2

No one can tell you what your career opportunities are. That's a decision you must make for yourself, since you know what you like and what you enjoy doing the most. You say you like art and history. Maybe you can teach those subjects, since unless you're extremely talented, you know what they say about starving artists. Journalism is also a creative art, and pays well, and it goes hand in hand with photography. There are many occupations that use math and science. So the things you've mentioned are all career possibilities. Why not talk to some people who are engaged in these occupations, or to your school counselor who might suggest aptitude tests or pre-college exams. Since you're only 16 or 17, you still have plenty of time to decide what you want to be. Many young people your age really haven't a clue until they get out in the world, and either get a job or continue their education. But eventually, you'll hit upon just the right thing. Good luck!

Answer 3

you can double major in business and get an interior design or another degree you are interested in (Art Curator restoring old paintings. Archaeologist maybe? You can travel a lot doing that.
There is also webpage design, and Engineering. You can major in History but go further to get you Masters and become a professor at a college somewhere.

Hope this helps!! There are tons of options out there you just have to ask around. So keep up the good work. You want something you will enjoy, it is not just about the money. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Since you like the subjects "Art, history, english, journalism, photography, math and science" you can do a course in Tourism and Hospitality, where you can work at a hotel as a human resource manager. You can be creative, tell tourists about the history of the country, You are required to have a good command of english etc.

Answer 5

You know, a field like biology will always come in handy. You can go back to being a doctor, if you like, but you can also choose to a variety of ways with a biology major.

You could be an archeo-biologist and use the history. Biology will inform your artwork, if you decide to go that way. A marine-biologist sees a lot of travel. Journalism *always* needs science writers, and my advisor suggested that I get a double major in science and journalism (I wound up with Japanese and journalism, but that's the way life goes!)

Remember, you can always change your major in college, too. But biology would be a great place to start to get your feet. Science majors are often required to take liberal arts classes, and if you find something that's more to your taste, you can switch to that. Or double-major.

The big thing is to let yourself explore as many options as you can while you are young! You never know where life will lead you.

Answer 6

Tell you what I'm doing...I love my profession in the medical field...however, I cannot stand the hustle. The system is even worse. In other words, I'm frustrated by the politics, favoritism, lack of proper staffing to carry the heavy load etc. I decided to do network marketing where I have unlimited growth, can generate residual income that will keep coming in whether I go to the job or not and I do not have a "boss" who's under so much pressure that he/she just stay on my back pressuring me. I love the network market I'm in and the financial rewards have been awesome. I will be making my medical career my mission not what I depend on for making money to live on. Now my joy has returned...the best of both worlds.

Answer 7

This is exactly the problem with people today, all they want is money....our school counselor told us to do something you enjoy....if you became a doctor, and got apid well, you would have a big house, a nice car, nice cloths, but you wouldnt be enjoying your time at work, and get bored and eventually probably want to give up.....i suggest going in to be maybe someone who studies history, or an artist...jsut as long as you enjoy your job, i would think you have better chances in enjoying your life...
good luck with finding one

and dont forget, it's ok to change what you want to do

Answer 8

A lot of people go into school for one thing and come out with another - that's OK. I started out as a math major, switched to English, and am now a chiropractor many years later.
I took a career aptitude test at my college and it really gave me some good ideas. Good luck.

Answer 9

I didn't declare a major until my second year at the university. The first year I took required classes that I would need for any major. Many students to this. When you get to the university, you get an up front look at the many departments and what they offer. Then you can choose. As it turned out, I went for a double major and am glad I did!
