<p>I am interested in pretty much EVERYTHING. Brief history: I've wanted to be president, an FBI agent, a Mongolian shepherd, a theoretical physicist, a musician, a writer, a mathematician, a linguist, a plumber (only slightly JKing ;-)), a philosopher, a classical historian, an engineer, and various other things at different points of my life. These weren't passing fads; I was very sincerely interested in all of these things for a fair period of time. I'd like to just explore my interests forever, but I have to pick a major, and then I have to get a job...</p>
<p>My flavors of the week are math and foreign languages (German, Spanish, and I'd really like to study Chinese when I get to college).</p>
<p>What's a feasible option for me? Is it unseemly to triple major? How about a triple major + a lot of study abroad time?</p>
<p>I have the same problem, but the parents told me I'll go to college and find out what my true love is, and I shouldn't worry about it now (triple majors are very rare, and study abroad would be impossible in 4 years, if possible to triple major in 4 years anyways)</p>
<p>my flavor of the week is: chemistry/spanish</p>
<p>OMG, you sound exactly like me, lola-cho! I think I agree with celebrian25 - when you get to college, you'll find that there are certain courses that really interest you, and the question of what to major in will (hopefully!) answer itself. If you go to a good university, you'll be able to take courses in all the other areas you're interested in anyway (you could also minor in those areas), so don't worry about suddenly having to choose one discipline and getting cut off from all the other areas you love!</p>
<p>And just for the record, here's everything I've wanted to be, in no particular order: astronaut, ballerina, theoretical physicist/mathematician, historian (and then within that, picking a certain era would be SO hard), violinist in the san francisco symphony, computer scientist, CIA or FBI agent, doctor, teacher, translator at the UN, etc. etc. etc.</p>
<p>But now, after almost a full year of college, I've pretty much decided to major in chemistry. That doesn't mean I've given up on everything else, though - my schedule this year has ranged from chemistry & physics to german and english and two of the most amazing history courses I've ever taken. Clearly, planning on majoring in chemistry isn't restricting me all that much :-P</p>
<p>So, long story short, don't worry. It'll all work out for you in the end!</p>
<p>I think sometimes people get too caught up thinking that they have to major or minor in everything that interests them. You don't! Unless you choose a high unit major, you will have time to take elective classes in the areas you don't major in. You'll also, assuming your college has general education requirements, probably find courses to fit these that are also in fields you enjoy. Additionally, remember that receiving a BA does not signal the end of your learning. As a graduate you can probably still find a college to take courses at if you're interested in them. There's also exploring and learning on your own. And know that you're not alone. I had a hard time deciding what to major in as well. I finally chose history, but I'm still taking a course in Hinduism this semester, and next semester am planning to take a Communications or Journalism class. The semester after that I'm hoping for physical anthropology. So don't worry. Your major isn't the be all and end all of what you study in college.</p>
<p>I'm not worried anymore because I know I don't want to do engineering, or anything else really high unit. </p>
<p>Here's all the things I've wanted to major in: Classics/Greek, Japanese, Creative Writing, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Entomology, biology, Chemistry, history, international relations, political science, geology, meteorology, computer science, engineering and physics.</p>
<p>Careers: veternarian, musuem curator/art historian, diplomant, translator, doctor, playwright, novelist, researcher (chem and bio), engineer, violinist and meteorologist/geologist</p>
<p>"What's a feasible option for me?"</p>
<p>Going to a liberal arts college might help you.</p>
