<p>To the OP who doesn’t know what he wants to do – it’s a fallacy that we go into college knowing what we want to do for the rest of our life. I feel like, 30 years after graduation, I’m still figuring it out.</p>
<p>Sophomore year is tough. The newness of being at college has worn off; picking a major looms. If there is anything I have learned, it is this – don’t think that you have to choose one career/lifestyle to the exclusion of all others. In today’s uncertain job climate, and with men and women taking on greater equality in earning income and child care (I say that with a great deal of hope because I don’t think it has happened yet) I think the smart choice now is to plan for two careers – a structured one (which could be a corporate track with lots of hours and also benefits like health care) and a less structured one (which could be more creative, or involve consulting in the field you’ve gained some expertise in). Because there will be times in your life when you need a little slack. So if no single career path or major leaps out at you, see if you can find two companion career paths that you could pursue. You might be lukewarm about each one, but I think you would be well served to prepare for not one, but two potential career pathways. </p>
<p>Hang in there. Good luck.</p>
