<p>Maybe I'll get a faster answer here.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I went to a community college as you probably figured out. I was put in a AAS program, and I've been selecting my classes off their requirements. So far, I completed 55 out of 60 units. I'll be a junior. I applied and got admitted to one of my top selected school. However, I chose to defer my admission, and decided it was best to stay an extra semester at my CC to figure my future prospect. ( undeclared major). </p>

<p>Now, my first problem is registering classes. I am only missing a science course and 1 elective from my AAS program. Whether the degree is useless, or not, I don't have a major in mind so like i said, I am basing my classes off that program. I am a full time student, and would need 2 other classes to fill. What classes should I take. I would think since my admission to my transfer school was defer for spring term, I would use their website and select classes that will fulfill their gen ed requirements. Am I right? Or, is that risky? I don't want to waste money and time for classes that won't benefit me. </p>

<p>Is this the correct path? AAS covers general ed requirements? my last 2 year is working towards my major? I am not register for any "upper division courses" right now!</p>

<p>My second problem is finding my major. It's no easy task since my career will be on the line. I am already a semester or a year behind a normal person. I know I'll be further behind If I didn't question myself, so I am pleading for a bit of security and direction. Please.</p>

<p>I am confused, depressed and unmotivated right now. I have a 3.2 cumulative GPA with visible upward trend. Only real experience I had was 2 jobs working retail. I am 20, and I will be a junior. Help!!!</p>

<p>Yes, if you haven’t fulfilled all of your new college’s gen ed requirements, this is a reasonable way to go.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Believe me, in the greater scheme of things, that’s nothing.</p>

<p>If you’re asking for some direction for a major and possible career directions, then you need to offer more information: what are your interests, strengths, do you see yourself going to grad or professional school, etc.?</p>

<p>Very comforting new, entomom. Thank you. </p>

<p>Possible career directions? hmm… I enjoy advertising sells & marketing products. Been doing this for 3 years or so using various forum sites like ebay. It sorta grew into a hobby I do daily. However, its pretty basic, and anyone can learn this, so I don’t think my experience in this will help me find a career path.</p>

<p>My strength would probably be psychology. The only course I got an A with ease. My brother would always joke that psychology would be a perfect fit for me since my personality seems to be similar to that of a consultant. I also can understand a person’s issue just by small hints. I still don’t know though. I can envision myself heading to graduate school or professional school (medical particularly & maybe even law). </p>

<p>Would declaring a major in psychology and a minor in english with pre-med be ideal?</p>

<p>Or would a science field with a minor in psy and pre-med be a better option?</p>

<p>I’m still exploring. Nothing is set in stones yet. I’m sure somewhere down the line I’ll be switching my major again…</p>
