Hello, my name is Grace and I’m 25 years old. I’ve been in school before for Art & Design but due to family, financial and personal issues I decided to put my schooling years ago. Now this was multiple years ago. Now over time, I decided the career I wanted to do was not for me. I have thought about multiple different majors from animation to psychology but still unable to decide to on what I ultimately want to do. I’ve taken multiple aptitude tests and all say that my interests are in writing, art and science. I am looking for ultimately something with some vibrancy. Something with high enough salary and realistic enough to hold a future in it. Does anyone have any idea what major would accommodate my interests? At least help me narrow some things down?
Why not do some freelance writing as you decide? There are lots of opportunities online. I’ve made some decent money at it over the years, and it might help you decide on the writing front.
I’ve thought of maybe doimg a blog of some type. Its just finding time and topics. Do you know of any careers that fall under art, sciences and writing?
I can see how you might combine, say writing and science into a career.
But as to majors, no, not off the top of my head.
And there are some colleges that allow you to put together your own major. I’ve seen them as we looked for my son, but of course right now I have no idea which ones they are.
ETA. I just googled "colleges that let you create your own major)

You’re not looking for a major that will accommodate your interests; you are looking for a career that will accommodate your interests. You can major in anything and have almost any kind of career. They’re related, but not completely overlapping.
You can combine science and writing with science writing (journalistic reports on science) and with technical writing (like writing manuals and help files). There’s something of a demand for technical writing. Art and science could be combined with medical illustration or drawing figures for textbooks and technical reports. There’s also industrial design, which is a whole field that combines science and engineering with art and design.
Industrial design is the only one of those that’s a major, though (and only at some colleges). But you can major in anything for some of these. Like for technical writing, you could major in an writing-based field (like English) or a more science-based field with a writing minor. If you wanted to be a science writer, majoring in a science with a minor in English/writing could work, but so could majoring in English and minoring in a science.
