<p>I need to start making up my mind on what I want to do, but I have no idea what I want to do...</p>

<p>Originally I was thinking about something with computers, but then I decided I didn't want to be sitting behind a computer when I was 40</p>

<p>Then I was thinking about some kind of engineering. I'm good at math, but bad at physics. I'm still thinking about engineering though. I know there are different kinds of degrees and everything. I'm just not sure what would work best for me.</p>

<p>So now I really don't know what I want to do. I've thought about doing something with business but I'm not sure what...</p>

<p>Stuff about me:</p>

<p>I'm good at math, but that's pretty much it.</p>

<p>I like to work with my hands. I don't mind manual labor, but I don't want to be working outside the rest of my life. I guess I want a job where I'm in an office or something for part of the time, and outside working in the field for a while too.</p>

<p>I would like to make a comfortable living... don't give me the line about do what you like to do. We all know that's BS.</p>

<p>So any suggestions on what to major in?</p>

<p>Just find a place that will let you explore. You don’t have to decide now. But make sure that the school at least offers engineering because some don’t. Then think about size, location etc. before worrying too much about your major. Carnegie Mellon has some interesting architecture/design programs, by the way.</p>
