<p>Okay, like many others my age, I am extremely confused and stressed out. I am a girl that is about to be a senior in high school and I have absolutely NO idea what to major in, and therefore, no clue what college I should be considering. I'm not aware of a lot of the majors that exist either, so I don't know where to begin. I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I was hoping some of you guys could give me some ideas. Here's a little bit about me:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>I am a people person. I enjoy being around other people. My friends tell me that I should do something that involves other people or being social. I like volunteering and doing community service a lot too.</p></li>
<li><p>I'm good at math, but I'm not passionate about things that involve a lot of numbers and calculations ...</p></li>
<li><p>I also enjoy tutoring others. A lot of teachers ask me to tutor other students because I'm, apparently, good at it. </p></li>
<li><p>I really enjoy going to international events. I love learning about different cultures and meeting people with different lifestyles. It's really fascinating and fun.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>What majors and / or jobs do you think would best suit me? Name as many as you'd like, because I have NO idea!</p>
<p>If you’re in America, don’t bother being a teacher. Other wise STEM degree or at the worst accounting if you don’t want to be known as a failure by scientists and society. Any business degree besides accounting or economics means you’re a disposable sheep. Join the STEM master race today. </p>
<p>That’s my rant of the day.</p>
<p>^ lol, and behold! The wonderfully inadequate English of a STEM holder. Though +1 for humour value. </p>
<p>OP, the two majors that came to mind were Social Work and International Development Studies. Social work might offer more direct interpersonal contact. IDS will give you a better chance of interacting with other cultures or in other countries, and concentrating on the economic aspects of IDS lets you employ your math skills without necessarily doing very difficult math.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with teaching, if that’s your passion!</p>
<p>I agree with HieronymusBosch. If not teaching, then social work. My mom’s a social worker. they interact with people ALL DAY including different cultures and they work with both kids and adults</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OP, keep in mind that if you plan to be a bonefide Social Worker, many states require you be professionally credentialled as one before you can work as one in their state. Look into your own state’s requirements for this as it often requires completing an accredited Masters of Social Work program. The typical route for Social Workers in my state is to get their BA/BS in Psychology or Sociology and then the MSW program. So if you weren’t planning on an extra couple years in school to get into your career, then that may not be for you.</p>
<p>And teaching is certainly a respectable career if one is into it. This also requires an extra teaching credential for the state in which you’ll teach, but many schools have an accompanying program at the bachelor level to accomplish that.</p>
