Trying to decide on a major..

College Majors

<p>Just had a long post and went to post it but got logged out so now I have to retype..and am in a rush (UGH!)</p>

<p>I'm almost 16. I'm a college freshmen at a community college. I was homeschooled and graduated early. They do not offer any 4 year degrees, so I am just getting a General Ed Associates so I can have a more flexibility on what classes to take. I'll graduate here the year I would've graduated highschool..</p>

<p>I have no idea what I want to do when I transfer but I'm dreaming of getting accepted in San Francisco State University! (I live across the country though..)</p>

<p>I have a lot of interests:</p>

<p>Kids - I wouldn't want to be a PS teacher but I love little kids (preschool and under). I don't see that as a forever job though, so I don't think I should get a degree in it and maybe just try to find a job.. (Do you need any qualification for that?)</p>

<p>Zoology or Evolutionary Bio/ Ecology - I'm loving my Bio class and am doing well in it. Next semester I'm taking Zoology and Wildlife Management. It's very cool and interesting but I'd really want a job working directly with animals and that would probably be hard to find? It seems like a lot of people are going into it too.</p>

<p>Sociology - Taking the college class next semester but I took it highschool and liked it. What kind of jobs are there? </p>

<p>Running out of time so.. just throwing out the others Writing, Interior Design, Photography, Philosophy and Astronomy. Are any of these good fields to get into?</p>

<p>On the opposite side I don't really like math, even though I'm good at it so the less I have to take is better. I also don't know how well I'll handle Chem or Physics because I've avoided them for the most part (except some very basic stuff..)</p>

<p>Any insight or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>For the preschool teacher thing, my mom is one (well, an assistant teacher more accurately) and didn’t have to take any classes in early childhood education. However, she was the last person they hired that didn’t have any of those classes; for everyone else after she was hired, they had to have a minimum amount of early childhood education classes (I think it was 4), but didn’t strictly need a degree. I’m guessing that something like that would be a minimum requirement at most preschools.</p>

<p>As for the others, I don’t know enough about them to comment.</p>
