How do I decide on a major? I also don’t have that much money so I can only go to community college. I also tried taking computer science but I didn’t so well in those classes. I can do okay in business and english classes. I also problems with driving. I can only go to school nearby. Any help? Thanks.
Whatever major you choose, you are going to have to take pretty much the same set of liberal arts distribution courses in order to get a degree (English Composition, Intro to Sociology and/or Psychology, Introductory Lab-based science course, college-level Math course, etc.). So, you can start out on those courses before you decide on a major. As you take these classes and work with an academic advisor, you can then decide on your major.
Also, please realize that many community college degrees are generic transfer degrees that do not list a specific major. You use that degree to transfer into a major program at a 4-year college, and then earn a Bachelor’s degree in that major.
I don’t know where you live, but most places have public transportation that will get you to your nearby community college.
My CC major was in math. I transferred to a local university, and graduated 2 years later with my degree and certification to teach high school math.
So while I agree that you’ll get lots of your General Education credits out of the way, I disagree with the idea of a “generic transfer degree.”
As to how to decide on a major: what do you like? What classes did you enjoy in high school? What do you see yourself doing in 5 or 10 years?
How is public transportation where you live? Is there a bus or train that will get you within walking distance of your local CC?
Is there just one community college nearby, or is there more than one to choose from, that you can access without driving?
Do you necessarily want to transfer to a four-year institution? There are also terminal associate’s degrees (and certificate programs) at cc’s that prepare you for the workforce. Check out what is available to you.
Accounting and human engineering resources is always useful. And the core courses won’t hurt that track. It also makes you more educated in general and more desirable for employers.
