<p>So, I'm senior and in my commonapp I wrote I'm undecided.</p>
<p>I have..<em>no</em> idea what I want to do.
I'm good at math and sciences, going to a school for students gifted in math/physics. I speak 3 languages. I <em>love</em> reading (but not writing essays about what I read), I like reading psychology and philosophy books (have read about 2 walls of them), I like art, I'm a fan of surrealist painters (mostly just Bosch and Dali tho), classical music (read Chopin) and I've been always told that I'd know what I want to do when I'd grow up.</p>
<p>Well, I grew up and it's time to decide, yet I have no idea. I just know one thing, I want a good salary.
To be upfront, I'm poor. If I'm going to invest in college, I want something out of it too.
I hate blood so nothing medicine related. Besides that, what can you recommend?</p>
<p>I hope you guys can help. </p>
<p>atm, I'm considering Engineering (because of good salary, though I don't really find it interesting. AT ALL) and Comp Sciences (the little I know about it does seem interesting, but I'm afraid it will no longer be so in few years..additionally, people my age know a lot already and if I begin from zero, I won't be able to become best in 4+2 years, will I?).</p>
<p>Some people know what they want from day one, but the vast majority don’t. You really don’t have to know yet. Just go to college, take some classes to find what you like, and pursue that. There will also be professors there that can help you find some direction.</p>
<p>You can always be a lawyer, or even a school administrator. If your passionate about reading classical books and psychology there are no two better opportunities. But as the previous poster said, if you go to a school undecided, you have 2 YEARS to decide what you want your major to be. You should take classes that look interesting and go towards your overall grad requirements. You’ll know what you want to do after being subject to new things</p>
I’d say look into Psychology. However, your university general education curriculum is there to open you up to a wide range of subjects; you won’t have to declare a major until after two years.</p>

“Money isn’t real, George. It doesn’t matter. It only seems like it does.” (-Blow)</p>
<p>There’s a lot to get out of college besides money. Further, the college graduate unemployment rate is only 5%, so you’re likely to get a job in most fields (especially if you go to grad school).</p>
<p>Do something you love, regardless of money. Don’t do something you hate just to make money, that’s no way to live. You only go around once, why squander years of life in monotony and misery? It is better to be poor and happy than rich and unhappy. However, you don’t have to be poor to be happy, but you also don’t have to be rich to be happy. We’ve got a short existence here on this planet, so make the most of it. Do what you love, do what calls to you, the rest will follow.</p>
