What do I do if I don't know exactly what I want to do in college How do I figure everything out?
I am already planning to go to a community college for Radiography, but I don't know if that is actually something I want to do.

Hello! That's a great question! Start by thinking about the subjects or activities you love. Look at what you're good at, like problem-solving, being creative, or working with others. Try different courses to see what you like, and go to workshops and seminars to learn more. Talk to your professors about your interests; they can give you useful advice. Research different majors and career options. Join college clubs that match your interests, and consider your long-term goals and the lifestyle you want. It's perfectly fine to take your time figuring things out—many students change their majors several times.

If you don’t fully know whether radiography is right for you, start by researching the field in depth and gaining practical experience. Keep an open mind about switching or exploring other majors and reflect on what truly interests and motivates you. Use campus resources and professional advice to support your decision-making. This approach will help you make a more confident and informed choice while minimizing stress about uncertainty.

Hello, Phoebe !
A huge part of attending college is to prepare for career. Since you do not know your career choice yet, you will need to give yourself some time to explore and think about it until you are inspired. College is expensive and time consuming and it's not worth investing in that if you don't have an end goal for a specific career. You just may need more time to figure out what is right for you.
If you have not been inspired for a career, think about getting a full time job and perhaps taking a class in the evenings for general education courses. You would first have to find out which General Education courses are required and you can take one at night and see how it goes. You can also make stronger contact with your community by doing volunteer work. Try various types of volunteer work to see if anything inspires you. We come to our career choices not by thinking or reading about them but being influenced by others as we observe life. Figure out what you want your purpose and mission to be and then explore careers that fit your mission.
Do not ever take a major for something you're not sure about. If you feel compelled to start college right away, start taking the General Education courses. Do not do a Liberal Arts Major as it is not a degree that employers ask for. You can also just take a break, wait another year before attending college full time. You'll want to be sure that your time and financial investment will pay off for your future.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !
