How can you tell when ou know what career or job you want to pursue for the rest of your life?

I'm asking because I am currently undecided about my major in college and ultimately, what career I want to pursue as well. #clueless

Why does it matter what college you go to?

If we are getting the same degree in different colleges, whats the point of going to a state college rather than an Ivy League college? #college #career-decisions

If I'm going into a major that I don't know that I really like, what should I do?

I put the major I would want on my application as Physics but I don't think it'll be the right major for me but I don't know what major is the right one for me.
