What should I major in?

College Majors

Hi!

I’m a very academic junior with a love for technology and animals, and major trouble deciding on a major!! I’ve recently been looking at an Animal Science major, but I have no intent of being a professor or becoming a vet, so I’m unsure of the use of that specific degree. I love video games and technology, but programming seems difficult and I don’t think I would have the patience or creativity to go into that career path. Ideally I want a mix between these two fields, and I was pretty interested in biology/genetics when I took AP Biology. It’s probably important to mention that I want a salary of at least 60-70k a year, even better hopefully. I am staying in the state of Florida for college, and likely applying to UF, FSU, and USF. Thank you!

OK so first of all, don’t worry too much. Generally speaking, the first year+ of college is taking general education to figure out what you’re into, and what you’re good at. I would say there’s a really high chance that whatever you decide right now will change.

With animal science perhaps you could become a zoologist or marine biologist?
