<p>Hi I'm new here. I'm only going to be a sophomore in high school this year so I know I have a while to go before college decisions. But I can't stop thinking about it. All my friends already know what they want to major in and I have no clue. I get average grades. Mostly 90s, the lowest last year was an 84. My best grade was in biology. </p>
<p>I got onto my school newspaper. If that helps any...</p>
<p>Some of my interests are: psychology, interior design, photography, forensic science, writing, the Internet: like social networking and blogging, design in general: I like the idea of creating something to help people, American history, travel, film. </p>
<p>I know it kinda jumps around a lot. </p>
<p>I'm a very organized person. </p>
<p>One of the things I hate the most is group projects. I always get stuck doing all the work. </p>
<p>I feel like it could be really cool to work at google or apple, but I'm not really into all that techy stuff, like I would rather design apps and devices rather than build them or help people figure out how to use them. </p>
<p>Also I would love to live near the beach if that makes a difference. I want to have a family. Maybe adopt and still have enough money to provide with a stable job. </p>
<p>So I hope that have you an idea. I know I still have time to decide but I just want to get an idea. Thanks!</p>
<p>Not really. It’s ok. But not my favorite.</p>
<p>Oh. I would have suggested Computer Science, but it takes a lot of Math to get through college. They design apps for people (which can help, lol I would be so screwed without my alarm app on my phone) and can live anywhere and since there are more jobs than people, they can get good salaries.</p>
<p>My mother is an interior designer who currently specializes in cabinets. Not the most glamorous, I know, but she gets to work on mansions and yachts all the time. She has had a history of picking out couches and draperies and a multitude of interior decorations for high money making people. She makes a good salary, and she only has an associate’s degree.</p>
<p>I would suggest Architecture for you. It sounds like a good balance of being artsy (which sounds like you) and design while helping people and getting a better salary. While architects know math, they leave most of the math up to civil engineers so they rarely deal with that.</p>
<p>Also I wanted to let you know it doesn’t matter in sophomore year. Very few people know what they want to do with their entire lives when they have lived less than a quarter of it. When I was a sophomore in high school, I thought I wanted to be a pharmacist. I have probably gone through five professions since that time (I am about to be a freshman in college.) It’s not important to decide on it until your sophomore year of college, but it’s good you are thinking about it early.</p>
<p>Thanks so much. This helped a lot. I know I have a lot of time I just wanted a vague idea.</p>
<p>Combining a couple of your interest, why not check out forensic psychology.</p>
<p>Mmmm I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to research it.</p>
