<p>I am a sophomore going into my 2nd semester and can't decide on a major. First let me say I do not like STEM majors. I like learning the subjects but I hate the labs and fieldwork involved in the major and the work field. When it comes to computers I'm very proficient in using them but I despise any major coding. The problem I'm having is that I like pretty much any other major. I've taken a lit class and loved it, I took a philosophy class and got a lot out of it etc. I don't care about money, I work in a pretty good job already but I'd be the first to get a college degree so it's important that I get it. I've narrowed my choices down a bit but I'm interested in all of them equally so I can't decide. English, history, philosophy, political science and women's studies all interest me. But because those aren't STEM or business majors everyone just says I'm wasting my time but they don't offer any suggestions. I'm going to msu denver just in case anyone wants to look at the majors and maybe suggest anything else. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Have you taken upper division courses in those majors yet? The upper division course work can often be different than the lower division intro classes, and that might help you narrow it down.</p>
<p>I would recommend picking the major where you find the most classes in the required curriculum interesting (usually with majors there’s always a few classes or subfields within that department that you don’t find particularly exciting), and then supplementing with interesting courses in different departments. If a double major is feasible, that would also be a good way to complement your different interests.</p>
<p>Personally, I would recommend political science or history, but that’s just personal preference. To me at least, once I’ve taken a couple courses in English, philosophy, or women’s studies, the topics professor’s discussed all felt repetitive. But that was just my experience. Look at the curriculum for each major and circle the classes you find really exciting, and maybe there will be one major that pops out more than the others.</p>
<p>Any more advice?</p>
<p>You like philosophy and got a lot out of it. You took lit classes and loved. Both seem like good reasons to major in a subject. One approach might be to say am I more likely to read literature such as Bronte, Whitman and Dickens after graduating or philosophy such as Kant, Kirkegaard and Plato. Then for my major I would pick the one I would be least likely to do after I graduate.</p>
