What is the best way to decide which career would be best for me?

I’m in my sophomore year now and I can’t decide what job I want to have when I’m older. I’ve done some research and would like to be either a lawyer or an engineer but I can’t decide which one. What would be a good way to go about deciding which career to pursue?

Changing Majors

Entering college as a young adult and with lots of aspirations of what to come ahead, we always come across the option to change their major. What is the difference between a business degree vs. a communications degree in a career perspective?
