I don’t know what to major and I’m going to be a junior in college. Feeling scared

In Fall 2020, I’m going to a junior in college as a transfer from community college with an associate degree in general studies. When I applied to the university, I picked accounting for my major. Now I’m unsure if I want to continue accounting because the reason why I picked it is because I’ve always loved math while growing up. Now I have a slight interest in criminology because the though of solving crime fascinate me. Now I’m afraid that what if I don’t like my accounting major and will have to stick to it forever and that’s what terrify me the most. Going after for something I thought I was going to like. Now I can’t decided between accounting or criminology. I feel like time is running out to decide and I don’t feel confident at all with my decision. I’m afraid what’s next in my future. I’m actually having a “quarter life crisis” right now

Why not major in Criminology and minor in finance or math? That would fulfill both your academic interests.

Forensic accounting best of both worlds.

Agree with @NJdad07090!

Yep! And in order to be a forensic accountant…you have to major in accounting.

And even the FBI’s website (https://www.fbijobs.gov/career-paths/special-agents) currently says that these are the skills in demand:

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM)
LINGUISTS
LAW/LEGAL
MILITARY/LAW ENFORCEMENT
EDUCATION/TEACHING
CYBERSECURITY/TECHNOLOGY
HEALTHCARE SERVICES/MEDICAL
PSYCHOLOGY/COUNSELING
ACCOUNTING/FINANCE
