Stressing so much over my major

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>So I realize you guys probably see posts like this every day, but I'm really stressed out and at this point I need some advice.<br>
Up until recently I was set on a a business degree of some sort. After some consideration I'm pretty sure I cannot be content sitting in front of a computer all day. Also math and science have never been a strong suit. I'm plagued with indecision at this point. I've begun obsessively searching about what major to chose. My roommate is an advertising major and for some reason I'm drawn to the idea but I just don't know...from what reading I've done it seems it's an incredibly difficult industry to get started in. I just can't seem to commit to anything at this point and nothing is calling me. I really liked the idea of being a cop or firefighter but alas I am legally blind in one eye and this immediately disqualifies me. Nothing like being told you can't do something because of a medical condition you're born with :-(. I keep thinking to myself that I love working with my hands and I find joy in simple things, working on cars, and motorcycles and I love dealing with people. I considered just leaving and learning a trade but I know that this will lead to working ridiculous hours just to make a livable wage. I realize I'm making it very difficult to give any advice but will someone give me something, I'm desperate...</p>

<p>Addition: I went to community college and did very well in my gen studies, all except math. I took two years off from school and ended up having to take remedial algebra and I had to take intermediate algebra twice. I took a bunch of business related classes including B. Law, Financial Accounting, Micro & Macro, Business Management and Marketing. I started at T-State this semester and was originally registered for Business Calculus only to realize in the 1.5 years since my college algebra class I had forgotten an unbelievable amount so I switched into the algebra portion of business math. Now I’m struggling again because I’ve forgotten so many fundamentals. I’m trying to catch up as fast as I can but it’s proving difficult and only further discouraging from my previous aspirations towards a business degree and also convincing me I’m not a numbers person. Just trying to give as much detail as possible…</p>
