Struggling to Decide

<p>I am a sophomore in a private university and I have no clue what I want to major in. I enjoy studying philosophy, physics, film, and international relations. I started as an international business minor but I am not good at accounting or microeconomics, then I changed to pre-law because I love using logic and reasoning, but I am afraid of being a bureaucrat. I am naturally very musical, artistic, and extremely creative, but am afraid of the job market that comes with arts.</p>

<p>I am struggling so hard to decide what to do with my life and I need to know now as I am applying for schools to transfer to.</p>

<p>I need some real advice because nobody will tell me anything useful. I'm so scared of what the future holds and I want to reach my full potential as a person. Please help.</p>

<p>What jobs (if you have any idea) would interest you? What do you want to do after undergrad (if you know)? </p>

<p>It’ll all be ok. Many students switch their major multiple times. </p>

<p>Some of your interests will land you a job at Starbucks, others a corner office and an Aston Martin. I say go for Physics. International Relations is a basket weaving major, so is philosophy (these people always end up doing others things, how many philosophers do you know?). Law is also a good field, if you play your cards right. If you don’t want to be a beaurcrat, go into Criminal Defense. You can use your international relations skills to help member of the Italian/Russian/Mexican/Etc Mafia avoid prison.</p>

<p>I want to do something where I can have creative reign over my job. I wouldn’t mind going to grad school, but I want to do something practical.</p>

<p>I wanted to do pre law so I could be a defense lawyer, I love astronomy and theoretical physics the most. I wanted to use philosophy to help with a law degree. no matter what I will most likely be minoring in philosophy.</p>

<p>if you’re ambitious, physics with a minor or double major in philosophy (and a couple classes in international relations, without going for the full major, but perhaps as a complement to your philosophy minor.)</p>

<p>does not your private university have a career center where you can meet with people trained in giving just this kind of advice?</p>
