<p>Alright, I'm starting college in a few days, and I have a few concerns. I know that people say that if you're undecided, you should try your hand at different courses and see which interests you the most. However, while I have broad fields of interest, I know that for most of my interests, I would probably get bored of them in a few years. I don't want to be in a position where I hate my job-- that's why I'm going to college. I don't know what I want specifically, but I know I want a job that can be exciting, refreshing, and have practical/innovative impacts on society (as in, I don't want a job where I'd just approaching matters in abstracts without feeling as if I DID anything at the end of the day). I come from a struggling middle-class family, so financial stability is also a priority. </p>
<p>But, I don't know what jobs can offer me this. I feel as if I knew, then I could have more insight into a potential major. I'm equally good at core subjects, which is why it's hard for me to choose a suitable major. But if anyone could at least, recommend to me some jobs/potential professions that would fit my above mentioned interests, that would be great. I really want to go in, not with a clear set idea of what I want, but rather of at least a foundation to build upon. Thanks.</p>
<p>I would recommend that if you like a certain subject or topic, look online for jobs pertaining to that subject, (ie. jobs for zoology majors) and if one catches your eye, then research it and see if you could see yourself doing that for a long time. I would also choose a major that can be used to different things, not one specific thing. i know that with my major, theres a whole lotta different jobs that I can do after college, so if I don't like one job, I'm not stuck and can easily look for something else. And thats important to me, especially since I change my mind a lot.</p>
<p>Choose a major that you will enjoy and do well in. For example, economics is a popular field for future policy/business-type students. However if you despise the courses and cannot do well in it, don't major in it. Major in your STRENGTHS and PASSIONS. Then you will be rewarded financially and accordingly.</p>
<p>To some extent, what and how you do in your job is a function of how well you do your job. There are employees content to do their assigned responsibilities and do them well and there are others that go to their managers to ask them what they can do to advance their career. Or find things on their own to do that will impress their management.</p>
<p>The truth is that most people will never find something they're truly passionate about, and even then you probably won't get a job in that area. Just major in whatever you want and try to find a job you like instead of being paranoid about finding the "ideal"</p>
