Which major should I take?

I’m not sure what Major I want to pursue. Ever since Junior High I wanted to be a vet because I liked dissecting animals in science class, and I also love animals.
However, I am struggling in Chemistry and I am not sure if I can handle AP Biology.

I did a job survey on Naviance and the clusters it suggested were art, law/public safety, and government. Health was in there but it was further down the list.

I am also really good at Art, but I’m not sure if there are any good job options for me. People have said Graphics Design would be good. I am more of a person who draws portraits of people or still life objects rather than logos or abstract designs.

I enjoy my AP history classes that’s probably why people think I might do good at Law, but I haven’t been in related clubs like the Debate team. I am confident in talking to my friends about expressing my views on opinions and subjects.

I have to pick my classes for next year by this week and I am struggling to figure out which direction to go. (AP bio vs APUSH etc)

I look forward to any responses

Hi @Ryutan! Welcome to CC! I moved your post to this category to get a little more exposure to the folks with a lot of experience in specific college majors.

Personally I would suggest you to pursue the path that sounds most interesting to you. I don’t really know how much chemistry weighs for a vet career, but I think there isn’t too much chemistry in AP Bio. If you have always been passionate about being a vet, go for it.

I can’t really tell whether you are genuinely interested in careers in law and design (it sounds like it’s just that others want you to do it); if you aren’t interested, don’t feel compelled to do it. Also, what grade are you in? If you are still a freshman I would suggest explore whatever classes you want. In high school, I think it’s good to experience a variety of activities regardless of your major or career choice.

Law plus dissecting things? Forensics? Digital media or something with art? Marketing?

If you like history then yes, take APUSH.
