This question is for those that are going through what I am, and for those that are finally in peace with what they chose to study/do. Basically, I am a person who's extremely open-minded. I ask too many questions, and love to constantly learn. Being a senior in high school right now, is a time where one should be thinking about what they want to get into. For me, I have been thinking about this ever since I was a little girl. I think about my future all the time. However, I could NEVER see myself wanting to study one thing, and one thing only. There are SO many degrees out there that I would love to obtain. I am someone that loves change, and someone who doesn't know what to do in the future. So, my question is: what kind of advice do you offer for someone like me, and is there anything at all that could help me with finding what I could go into?

i'm sort of the mindset like you, I like working in the lab and I like going out and doing the investigating, collecting samples, interviewing folks and writing up the reports and making phone calls to specialist in certain fields to find out what they have to say and adding that. I do this for the army actually.
email me, and maybe I can direct you toward a career (not army) that would lead you to something worthy of your talent.
but education is going to play a major key to all of this, so I hope you are in school or have kept your grades up.

I am also a very open minded person and it is great , but will often work to your disadvantage if you get into a job that really only wants you to perform specific tasks, I was an elem teacher and if the school district decides reading will be taught only one way, you are stuck. You sound pretty creative so chose a field where you have as much autonomy as possible.

You do not have to get one degree you can get several in succession or concurrently.
Go to a college that offers a wide choice of majors.
You can always major in one subject and minor in another. You can then take if you want to electives in other areas.
Some colleges in their counseling canter offer interest tests which rate your interests in different areas. Find such a test, take it, and carefully examine the results.
