Hi everyone. I'm 21 years old and I'm on an study abroad exchange in London England. I am in my third year of University and I still do not have a major... I have taken several different kinds of courses (management, arts/humanities - sociology, anthropology, science - biology, chemistry, math, physics, etc) but I still can't figure out what I ultimately want to study. I'm interested in so many different things..and I've taken a bunch of interest inventories which haven't helped very much. I don't want to end up with a "nothing" degree but I feel like it's too late to go back and start again, and I am starting to panic severely because this education is setting my parents back quite a bit money-wise and so much wasted time has gone by... I am desperate right now and this situation has been distressing and depressing me for many months now. What should I do, or who should I talk to about this? Thanks so much in advance.

Don't worry too much because there is no 21 year old out there that knows exactly what they're doing. As long as you're in school, your half way of finding what you really want. Now, all you have to do is make mama/papa happy. Just tell them that their investment will be worth the wait. Reminder, your debt (school loan) should be 1/2 of what your expected 1st year salary. What this means is that if you have 50K in debt right now, you better get a degree that is capable of erasing that.

Becky, have you thought about a career in Computers? Working for a manufacturer like IBM offers a broad range of career opportunities including sales, service, programming, design, management, and many more. The industry changes every day – it’s rut proof! With your eclectic interests you might make a great sales representative because you’ll be able to talk to anyone.
Best of luck!

Do not be alarmed. You have had enough education that you would be capable to find a good career somewhere. There are many great companies you can get on with and grow and prosper with in all the fields you have studied.

How about micro biology and get into genetic research or something in the research field??

In that case you will most probably become a teacher.
