Don't know what to major in?

<p>I'm still a high school student but it is my senior year and I'm applying for colleges.
I thought I originally wanted to go into International Relations but after doing Model UN for a bit I realized I'm not a very talkative/social person for that type of work force.</p>

<p>I love East Asian culture and wanted to major in Chinese or East Asian Languages and Cultures but I refuse to double major/minor in business and I refuse to be a teacher. Many people say that translators don't even major in languages in college and being a translator is the only standard job I think I would want to do, being a translator or teaching Foreign Service Officers languages before they head off to their respective countries (I heard it pays good money). </p>

<p>I am currently learning French, Chinese, and it'd be cool to learn Korean. However, I don't see learning 3 languages being possible in college.</p>

<p>Aside from languages and cultures, my true passion is in writing. Writing novels, creating plots and stories for cartoons/games/tv series, writing for comic books, etc. That is something I would like to do but majoring in Creative Writing is a bad idea and I heard that in order to make it into that industry you really have to build up a PORTFOLIO rather than go to school. (which I am willing to do but I want a stable and well-paying job in the mean time)</p>

<p>Based off of this long drivel can anyone give me suggestions on what I should major in?</p>

<p>At least in your drivel, you told us what you want and don’t want and why. A couple suggestions majors would communications and journalism. These can get you into jobs like marketing, public relations, and maybe even writing for TV news. Then with your free electives, you can load up on creative writing classes.</p>
