<p>I'm a rising Junior in High School and I plan on getting my first two years of college done via dual-enrollment, and then transferring to a local university for my last two years afterwards, mainly for financial reasons.</p>
<p>I'm not exactly sure of what I want to do. I was looking at a college major book and many of the reccomendations for the interesting ones were science, science, science and math, math, math. I was good at math up until the seventh grade and science is more of a weaker point for me as well (I enjoy biological sciences though, especially zoology). I'm skilled with computers and I have an interest for social sciences like Psychology. For a while, I've wanted to go into Linguistics because I also enjoy languages.. Maybe taking a few classes in philosophy. I've even taken a few Medical Skill classes, so I know a thing or two about health sciences.</p>
<p>Based on your experiences what advice could you give me?</p>
<p>I would recommend a pragmatic approach in your situation. </p>
<p>If you have absolutely no idea what classes to take, start with general education requirements. You’ll have to take them eventually, and it’s better to get them over with when you don’t have strong preferences for individual subjects yet.</p>
<p>There are a few ways to narrow down the field of potential majors. If you are taking your dual enrollment courses at a college other then the one you intend to transfer to, you might restrict your attention to programs that are offered at both colleges. </p>
<p>A second consideration is the employability of the degree. Some students are majoring in liberal arts (e.g. history) just for the sake of pursuing a passion in college, and rely on their social network to get that precious first job after college. Many students don’t have that privilege and need to study something more practical. You should be aware that linguistics, philosophy and psychology are not the most employable majors without additional credentials.</p>
<p>Instead of picking a major, you could choose a career or an activity you enjoy and ask yourself which majors would prepare you for that. Do you want to work with people? Animals? Technology? That sort of thing.</p>
