Help choosing my major - Com, Soc, Anthro, Music...

College Majors
1

<p>Hey,
I am going to be a junior in college in the fall, and I STILL don't know what I want to major in. I thought I'd take my gen ed classes first and try to make my decision...well, I have run out of gen ed classes (and most of my electives), so I have to decide now.</p>

<p>My declared major has been in Communication - Electronic Media & Broadcasting, and I now have enough credits for a Com minor. I like aspects of Electronic Media, but I don't see myself doing radio or tv for the rest of my life. So I need to get out now if I want to switch.</p>

<p>I've researched majors and careers so much, I think my head might explode...I've done all that stuff. I just have a problem narrowing it down, because there are several things I want to do.</p>

<p>I am interested in going into entertainment (music or film industry, maybe work for Disney), government (FBI/CIA/Dept. of State), design (architecture/landscape architecture, possibly interior design), hospitality, or possibly counseling/therapy (considering school counseling, marriage & family therapy, or music therapy).</p>

<p>I know I'd need grad school anyway for architecture and counseling, so I'm not heavily leaning towards undergrad majors in those areas.</p>

<p>I am considering switching to Com Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, possibly Poli Sci, Music, or Business. </p>

<p>Suggestions, anyone? </p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>P.S. And yes, about the music major idea - I do have a strong musical background, and music is my passion. I know what goes into the music major, and I would be dedicated to the hard work. I just don't know if what I'm wanting to do would fit with a music major.</p>

<p>Music majors typically have to start that right away as a freshman, so that’s not gonna work for you. I’m going as a music major this fall.</p>

<p>Hmm, the music major things probably wouldn’t work since it should be started earlier and many of those counseling type options require further schooling. I feel like Humanities might be a relatively fitting major.</p>

<p>Yes, you both are right that the music major needs to start freshman year…but I’m very passionate about music and I would stay an extra year or two to get a music degree if it would really help my career goals. I have been considering double majoring too…I could finish a degree in Communications by the end of junior year.</p>
