<p>What made you think you wanted to learn your major and work with it for the rest of your life? I need help deciding.</p>
<p>I went with my aptitudes. If you don’t use your highest aptitudes in your life, then you won’t feel fulfilled. If you choose a career that utilizes your highest aptitudes, then you will love your career.</p>
<p>Also, the way I decided between biology and physics+math was that I wasn’t using all of my aptitudes with biology (such as memorization).</p>
<p>I chose my major (engineering) based off of what interests me. Now whether that interest will carry over to my job once I graduate is a different story. But hey, if it doesn’t work out I can always leave it all behind and become a jungle tour guide in Costa Rica right? </p>
<p>But in all seriousness, you should go with what interests you the most. After talking to many older people about this they all say to go with your interests and not what you think will net you the most money.</p>
<p>^ I disagree. If you go with what you are best at, you will begin to enjoy it whether you were originally interested or not.</p>

<p>There are absolutely no holes in that rock solid logic.</p>
<p>lol @ mathsciencedude</p>
<p>This was actually one of my few serious posts. What’s wrong with my logic?</p>

I’m the best out of anyone I know at attracting gay guys. I’ve never been interested and still am not interested in attracting them.</p>

<p>You are assuming that you become happy by being the best at something whereas I would argue that you become the best at something by loving what you do and wanting to continually improve.</p>
<p>I’m great at English, but would absolutely HATE being an English major…</p>
<p>In the context of what I said earlier, I mean aptitudes in the sense of skills and natural ability. When I say best at, I mean for you, not compared to everyone else. If you were terrible at working at McDonalds compared to everyone else, but it was the thing which you thought was the easiest to perform, then you should work at McDonalds.</p>

<p>^^Is English your strongest subject?</p>
<p>^ Anything but math is my strongest subject.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t have a strongest one, but math is by far my weakest. </p>
<p>But in terms of strength, in English, I never had to try. I learned how to read quickly, and got really good at it when I was really young. I could always spell, and understood and used proper grammar. When it came to writing papers, I could sit down and whip out a paper like it was nothing and still get good grades on them! I never tried, and I never got less than a B. That’s what it was like in history, psychology, sociology, biology, chemistry, and other classes I’ve taken too.</p>
