If you're unsure about choosing a major, don't stress. Many people feel the same, especially in their first year. Start by thinking about what you enjoy or the types of problems you like to solve. Do you prefer working with people, creating, analyzing data, or organizing? This can guide you toward suitable majors.
Begin by taking general or introductory classes. Colleges often allow you to explore before deciding on a major. Try different subjects to see what interests you. Joining clubs, talking to professors, or doing small internships can also help you understand what working in a field is like.
It's okay to change your mind later. College is about learning and discovering what suits you. Skills like problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking are valuable in any career. Stay curious and make the most of opportunities to explore.

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you have to find out what careers you have interest. The relevant subject is the major you should choose in college.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Think about what you have interest, e.g. your hobbies, favorite subjects, etc. and identify the related careers
E.g. If you have interest in maths, would you like to be an accountant, engineer, banker, financial analyst, maths teacher, etc.
If you like music, would you like to be a musician, singer, musical artist, music producer, music composer, etc.
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school career counsellor, your parents, etc.
4. Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue. The relevant subjects are the major to choose.
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in colleges
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

When considering a career, there a few things you can look for:
1. Interests – What topics or activities naturally capture your attention?
2. Experience: Try various classes, internships, or side projects to see what you are drawn to vs. what isn't a fit.
3. Follow sustained motivation – The ones you keep pursuing despite effort signal potential passion and career fit.
