HELP!!! Thinking of double majoring.

College Majors
1 
   I graduated this May from highschool. I was able to earn a scholarship that gives me 120 (does not cover graduate schools) credit hours to any institution of my choice. With the guideline that the university or college has to be in Florida. I actually don't mind that. I did dual enrollment in highschool and graduated highschool with 54 college credits that the state basically paid for me to get. So now I have that plus the 120 credits, because of this I was thinking of double majoring. I will take summer courses in summer 2 at a local college to finish my AA in psychology.
      I use to want to be a doctor, but now I changed my mind. There is so much I want to do that I cant make a decision. I love the field of psychology, but also want to go into pharmacology, and own my own business (so possibly business school). I am also into computer language and coding. I have only taught myself basic HTML, and started learning HTML5 yesterday. I would like to work for the FBI or CIA one day (I know it's ridiculous). Based on this information what would be the best recommended fields to double major in that would produce amazing work force opportunities. I thought I had it down packed since freshman year now IM LOST!!!!!!!

********I am the only one out of my 7 siblings to graduate highschool and go to college. I have been telling my parents I want to be a doctor since I was little. Their expectations of me are HIGH!!! Now that I changed my mind I feel like a disappointment. I don’t have the guts to tell them. Any advice on that too?

First of all, take a deep breath and relax. You do not have to make any permanent, life-long decision just right now.

You appear to have many diverse interests. That’s OK. Since you have your college paid for, you can take some time during your first year or two to explore your interests by taking a wide variety of classes to see what you like/don’t like. Eventually you’re going to have to make some choices that will close doors of. But, remember that very few decisions are ever irrevocably final.

Don’t choose a major or a double major right now. Take a Intro CS class plus calculus 1, take a psych elective, take general chemistry, take a foreign language class (Farsi, Arabic, Punjabi, Chinese, Russian, Urdu, Korean-- all in high demand w/ law enforcement agencies). These classes will typically allow you to fulfill the GE requirements for your university even if you choose not to pursue them as majors/minors. They also offers the foundation for every one of the possible careers you’ve mentioned.

Most entering college freshmen (and emotionally/socially/maturity-wise you’re going to be a college freshman despite your pile of dual enrollment credits) do not need to declare a major until the end of their second year of college.

As for choosing a career–if you don’t want to be a doctor, don’t. This is your life, not your parents. You do not need to announce this to your parents right this minute. There’s plenty of time to tell them later on once you have found what you want to do with your life.
