I Don't Know what I Want to Major In! (any suggestions?)

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I see a lot of people on CC who have known what they wanted to be right from the start. I'm a rising Junior and I have no idea right now. I used to think I wanted to be a doctor but I've come to the realization that a health profession is just not for me. I'm more English/History oriented than Science/Math oriented. Growing up poor has really made me conscious of the future. I think one of the reasons why I was bent on being a doctor was the high salary. I know now that that is not the way to find a good profession.</p>

<p>So, do any of you have suggestions on majors/jobs that are english/history related. Because right now I'm looking at colleges and I can't really decide which are right for me if I have no idea what majors I'm looking for.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Majors: English, History, Anthropology, International Relations/Affairs/Studies, (Region) Studies, Philosophy</p>

<p>Jobs: Professor, anthropologist, writer, policymaker</p>

I’m fairly certain that this indicates that the OP does not want to pursue something just for the money.</p>

<p>No, I believe you’re thinking of a baker, not a lawyer.</p>

And have trouble landing a job</p>

<p>You don’t absolutely have to know what you want to major in when you apply to college. I know most of the people on CC have their whole lives planned out, but the majority of high schoolers have absolutely no clue what they want to do. I’m a senior, and I’m applying undecided to all of the colleges I want to go to. I have a couple of things I’m interested in, but I’ll give myself a semester or two doing general ed requirements while I figure things out.</p>

<p>^^^For some reason, that made me laugh.</p>

<p>Then I have succeeded.</p>

<p>Make sure you major in something useful, like Art History, African American Studies, Women’s Studies, etc.</p>

10

<p>Art History… lol. Our “Coach”(More like Team Mom) For robotics majored in Art History.</p>

11

<p>^^Lol. </p>

<p>How about Religious Studies? I think I will double major in RS and Physics.</p>

12

<p>^I don’t know what job I could get with a major in Religious Studies.
^^^the same with Art History, African American Studies, and Woman Studies.</p>

<p>My major doesn’t have to be limited to English/History majors, either. I can handle Science and Math just well (B average), I’m just not exceptional at either subject.</p>

13

<p>The most fruitful major is folklore</p>

14

<p>Nah dude double major in japanese studies and film making. gold mine right there</p>

15

<p>The best major is philosophy, do you know how many jobs you can land.</p>

16

<p>Folklore, Japanese studies/Film Making, and Philosophy. Yeah, I’m sure those majors can bring in tons of money. :(</p>

<p>Anyways, anymore suggestions?</p>

<p>I hear male nurses are needed all over the country to boost both male and female doctors’ ego</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it feel great to work under male or female doctors how make over triple your salary?</p>
