<p>So I wasn't really sure where to put this, but I guess high school life fit the most?
I'm a high school senior applying to college for Fall of 2013. Like most other applicants I'm not too sure about my major. But here's the big problem: I have almost NO idea what to do. I couldn't think of anything that I have a true passion for or anything I wanted to do. What I know is that I want a stable career where I can earn good money. So I'm going as a CS major, but now I'm starting to reconsider. Is this meant for me? Spending 8+ hours a day programming? Can anyone help me think of ways that I can think of a job/major I would like to do? Thanks!</p>
<p>Don’t do it for the money.
Do you have any interests
Also what are you good at? math? Science? History? Etc</p>
<p>DOWN WITH THE LAKERS!!!</p>
<p>With a couple of exceptions you can change your major in college. Education, English, psychology and math/science majors are all ones that can lead to stable careers, though often you will have to also get a masters. If you can just start as undeclared, take some intro classes in several topics and see what appeals to you.</p>
<p>Pharmacy! Jobs in these field are growing! And it’s great money!</p>
<p>Take your best and favorite subjects and find the majors that relate to it. Most college majors lead to stable career with good pay anyway. What you don’t want is working a job that you do not enjoy. And you’re a senior? I suggest you starting rushing those apps in because time is running short for most universities and colleges.</p>
<p>If you’re in undeniably love with math, DO ACCOUNTING. I heard they usually have awesome salaries</p>
<p>These are some great responses! Thank you everyone!</p>
<p>and @kypdurron, dont hate.</p>
<p>Psychology. I just find it really it really interesting <3</p>
<p>Engineering is a stable career path. Even in today’s economy, engineers have about a 2% unemployment rate.</p>
<p>Also, I think computer science as a major is a waste of time. I know quite a few people who work for companies like Pratt, Lockheed-Martin, and Sikorsky. Interestingly enough, the ones who are the best programmers went to school for engineering, not CS. If you want to learn to code, teach yourself using the internet.</p>
<p>Don’t go for liberal arts majors if you are good at math. Their careers seem much less stable with lower pay.</p>
