Major/Fields of Study Help

<p>Hey guys, found this forum thanks to google.</p>

<p>First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I thought this would be the best place to put it.</p>

<p>I need help finding fields of study. I'm really drawing a blank since there are so many things I find interest in, but let me give a background of myself first.</p>

<p>I'm a junior with a GPA around 3, I scored 29 on my ACT and have yet to take my SAT. I love math, science, and computers (I guess because I love math and science?). I find myself to be a self-driven person.</p>

<p>I have a lengthy computer background. My dad is a field service tech for HP and it's apparent I have some of his computer genes. I've know just about as much as he does, as well as some of my own stuff (he works with mainly bigger systems and not desktops). I've taken computer programming classes in high school and did very well in them while enjoying them.</p>

<p>I love math. I often find myself trying to solve problems that may follow a pattern (based off things we're doing in class) on the side of my notebook. I usually don't give up until the end of class. I have a tendency to hyperfocus (ADD!).</p>

<p>I love science as well. More specifically, chemistry. I find it absolutely fascinating how everything works and reacts with each other. I LOVE that human body series that was recently on the discovery channel. I often spend the day (at school) thinking about some of the topics covered in the short series and thinking more and more in detail about how/why some of the stuff works. I guess I day-dream to be a neurologist. Oh, I LOVE neurology too, and psychology.</p>

<p>That may have not made any sense, but lets hope it does.</p>

<p>I was thinking that I may want to go into finance, accounting, computer programming or some computer related field, psychology, neurology, or something similar. So I'm stuck trying to figure out what field I can do well in given my GPA and my ACT score (and myself).</p>

<p>Thanks!

<p>Don't try to figure out what "field" you might want to go into; it's too early for that. Look around for good colleges that allow (or even require) a broad range of subjects; look for ones that have the areas in which you have some interest. Find schools that have the characteristics you want (urban v. rural, small v. large, whatever).</p>

<p>Then, while you're in college, you'll sample your interests and have a lot more time and resources to help you decide. Your school's career center will be able to help you.</p>

<p>And don't be surprised if you change your mind five times before you graduate college!</p>
