<p>I'm new.I stumbled onto this website accidentally,and decided to join!</p>
<p>I'm about to be freshman in college this spring,but I have no idea what to major in..I have many random interests,but I'm not sure if I can make a career out of it. Math is my weakest subject, science is OK,but it bores me, and English and Social Studies were my fav. subjects in HS.</p>
<p>My interests include volunteering and giving back to the community,the news-all types-from what is going on in Afghanistan to health care reform to celeb news.lol Other interests include teen health (like telling teens about the dangers of unprotected sex,STDs,etc). I'm a good public speaker and I connect well with others,including children..but I'm not sure if any of the interests I listed above can translate into a good major/career. =(</p>
<p>Hi, welcome to the site! You mentioned that you’re about to start your Freshman year next semester. Does that mean you’ve never taken any college courses? If not, then you shouldn’t even begin worrying about what major you should be because you’ve had little or no experience in the courses themselves.</p>
<p>In fact, I think you’ll find that you’ll change your mind about what major/s interest you over time. For example, I began as an English major then switched to Crim. Justice, and now I am a Psychology/Philosophy double major and fulfilling premed requirements…Now that is a lot of major changes lol.</p>
<p>In the end, it comes down to majoring in what you love to do. If you love English and writing (lots) then be an English major and delve into the intracacies of the language and most revered writers throughout history. If you enjoy history, then you’ll immerse yourself in past events, important people, and learn how to dialectically apply the past to the present.</p>
<p>From what you said above, it seems to me that your interests are most exclusive to History, but ultimately, in time, your major will become more clear to you.</p>
<p>btw what school will you be attending? Certain schools specialize more heavily in particular majors and that could contribute to your decision to pick the “right” major.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about picking a major yet. Take general education requirements for your school, explore different subject areas, and then make a decision when you have a better idea.</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters, a lot of freshman think if they don’t have their whole life figured out they’re lost and that’s not true. Everyone changes in college, I’m a junior and I’ve changed what I want to do multiple times. Take the classes and see what interests you.</p>
<p>If you are interested in working with your community you can consider community organizing, social work, non-profit work etc… All of these are great because you can interact with the community and are great fields. If you are looking at working in higher professions or managing community groups look into getting something with public administration or even a Master in Public Administration. Those are perfect if you are interested in getting involved in something like your local or state level red cross or something similar as a director or something.</p>
<p>I agree with the previous posters, do not worry until you start. However, I recommend taking an anthropology class (if that major exists at your university) and/or a public health class (if that exists at your university). Both fields seem to match your interests and strengths (they are social science-esque, invloving reading and writting and humanitarian). If you like any of these classes, hey you have a possible major! (if not keep on truckin’, you’ll find something you love)</p>
