Consider pursuing a degree in Business Administration, focusing on Marketing, HR, or Management, or look into Public Relations. Your experience as a server has already taught you valuable communication and people skills.
A business degree offers many opportunities for internships and jobs. If you enjoy networking and representing a company, PR could be a great fit.
Before choosing a major, research jobs in HR, recruiting, marketing, or account management. Connect with professionals on LinkedIn or visit your school's career center to learn more about these fields.
Don't underestimate your restaurant experience. Employers value problem-solving and customer interaction skills, which are highly useful in the corporate world.
For a stable income, good internships, and a role involving people, Business Administration with a focus on Marketing or HR is a smart choice. It provides flexibility and can lead to leadership positions in the future.

Given your great communication skills, you may want to consider a job in sales. You could consider majoring in business and specialize in a specific major - marketing, management, etc. People who work in sales need to be good communicators and extroverted. You can also make a decent salary in sales, depending on the industry. Look for opportunities to job shadow professionals. Most working adults are very open to this idea and it gives you a great perspective on what to expect in a potential future career.
Best of luck to you!

Hi doll! Take your time reading as I wanted to answer this as thoughtfully as possible!
First off, having great communication skills—and having customers compliment you on them—is a massive head start! Being able to connect naturally with adults and build rapport is one of the most valuable skills in the job market, and it leads directly into high-paying, fulfilling careers.
Since you want to talk to people, live comfortably, and land an internship that turns into a full-time job, here is how your choices stack up:
1. Business Administration (Focus on Marketing, HR, or Sales)
•Why it fits:** Business degrees are super versatile. Focusing on Sales, Human Resources (HR), or Corporate Management means your entire job will be about talking to people, building relationships, and solving problems together.
•Pay & Internships:** Excellent. Business schools have massive network connections with companies that actively recruit college juniors for internships that lead straight into full-time job offers after graduation.
2. Public Relations (PR) or Communications
•Why it fits:** PR is all about managing relationships between a company, the public, and the media. You will use your natural communication skills every day to network, pitch ideas, handle events, and represent brands.
•Pay & Internships: Strong. PR agencies and corporate media teams hire interns every semester, and salaries grow quickly as you build experience managing accounts.
3. What About Social Work or Psychology?
•The Reality:** These are wonderful fields for helping people, but making a high income usually requires going to graduate school for a Master's degree or Doctorate. If you want a 4-year bachelor's degree that leads directly into a comfortable entry-level salary, a **Business** or **PR** major is a much faster path.
Suggested Next Steps to Take:
•Take your time and put thought in to declare your major: some suggestions I have are :
**Business Administration** (concentrating in Marketing, Sales, or HR) or **Public Relations**.
•Highlight your server experience:** Put your restaurant work on your resume! Frame it as customer relationship management, conflict resolution, and communication. Companies love hiring former servers because you already know how to talk to anyone under pressure.
•Target these internship titles:** Look for internships in **Recruiting/HR**, **Sales Development**, **Event Management**, or **Corporate Communications** during your sophomore and junior years.
You are already using your best skill every day at work—now it’s just about bringing that same natural charm into a business setting. Best of luck on your journey!

I also enjoy talking to people a lot! It took me a while to figure it out, but I discovered it pretty early - I enjoyed being in front of people, talking and keeping them engaged and listening. For me, that meant a degree in Business Administration - because I wanted to learn what it takes to work as a business leader that needs to mobilize people by talking, sharing ideas, convincing others, influencing and advising, etc.
A degree in Business Administration, or International Business, will be great to think about.
In addition, a degree in Communications or Media is also a pathway to get a job or internship in a wide variety of companies - like a media firm, newspaper, or school, or TV network, or basically any business that requires Communications and Public Relations, which is pretty much every serious company in the world. Learn how to create impactful talking points, an engaging script or presentations, learn how to influence with words, and then get the opportunity to practice and practice.

Your restaurant experience is valuable because it has helped you develop listening, customer service, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. These are skills that many employers look for.
Of the three majors you mentioned, I would look closely at Business Organization and Leadership if your main goals are career flexibility, professional growth, and earning potential. It can prepare you for roles involving management, sales, recruiting, customer success, operations, and business development. These careers can give you many opportunities to use your strength in communicating with people.
Public Relations could also be a good fit if you enjoy writing, networking, presenting ideas, building relationships, and representing organizations. Possible career paths include PR coordinator, communications specialist, account executive, event coordinator, and corporate communications. Communications is broader and can be useful, but you may want to pair it with a specific area such as marketing, business, digital media, or public relations to make your career direction clearer.

Lots of great answers here. As mentioned already, Business and Marketing are great areas to explore, namely Sales, Business Development, Public Relations, and Partner Management. But Politics is also worth considering, which can require a lot of face-to-face engagement, public speaking, etc.
Separately, when it comes to "living comfortably"...while your income matters, your ability to control your spending so you can save and invest matters a lot more. Start practicing financial discipline early in life: start saving now, even if it's just a little every month and avoid "lifestyle creep" as your income grows over time.

Breanna,
instead of picking a major I would recommend thinking about the careers that revolve around face to face interaction. In my experience, the two best careers for extroverts would be sales or a client facing white collar role.
For sales I have a lot of friends from all kinds of backgrounds with all kinds of majors who have succeeded. Sales is not really your typical after college role. A lot of the time your pay is commission based or heavily performance based and your success depends a lot more on your people skills than what you majored in. You work in a team setting and most of your job is either face to face interactions, phone calls, building relationships, following up with people, and getting comfortable talking to all kinds of personalities. It's a great role for people who are outgoing and want to take their people skills and use them in a more competitive and dynamic way. Another huge benefit is there really is no set "major" for sales, I have friends who are finance majors and friends that are biology majors who have both succeeded in that career path. If you're good at talking to people, building relationships, handling rejection and staying motivated sales can be a really good option and there can be a lot of income upside too.
The other role would be any sort of client serving professional white collar job. Think a consultant, accountant, financial advisor etc... This one I can personally relate too being a public accountant. This role requires a 4 year college degree and sometimes some sort of professional certification like a CPA, CFA etc.. It has a much higher barrier to entry, however it also comes with a high salary and has great employment outlooks. People in my class majoring in accounting at my university had around a 98% employment rate after graduation.
your job consists of multiple client meetings with different companies, people, personalities, technologies etc. You have to be adaptable, have consistent energy and be comfortable conversing with people from all different backgrounds. Unlike sales, this one does have more of a "set major." You would usually need to be an accounting, finance, or some other related business major depending on what field you go into.
I think one of the strongest aspects of both of these careers is the employment outlook and how important people skills are becoming. With AI taking over more of the back end "numbers only roles" the business world is starting to favor people who can communicate, build relationships, work with clients, and explain things clearly. If being around people and talking to people is already one of your strengths from your restaurant experience, I would look at careers where that is actually a major part of the job.

Consider focusing on Business Organization & Leadership, with a minor in communications or public relations if possible. Business leadership opens many doors in sales, recruiting, account management, HR, operations, and management. These roles highly value strong interpersonal skills!
Communications is versatile, but gaining internships and practical skills will help you stand out. Public relations is a great choice if you enjoy writing, networking, organizing events, and representing organizations. Aim for a major that allows you to complete 2–3 internships or co-ops before graduating, especially in areas like sales, HR/recruiting, marketing, corporate communications, or client relations. This approach will set you up for success!

Hi Brenna, if your personable and like to meet and talk to different people you need strong people skills, listening skills and kindness values/ethics. You will meet all kinds of people in business. Having the skill to make them feel heard and important is essential to success in marketing/ communications. Find a university that has a strong business and communications program that has extra activities and a career placement program. Get involved in student programs / council so you can start practicing your communication, team building and problem-solving skills that are relatable in real-life situations. Learn how to detect issues /challenges / problems that need to be solve by listening with intent. Build relationships with your professors, fellow friends/students, their parents see you and can recommend you for careers/jobs - building a network is so important. Be curious, go into office hours ask professors/PA for help so you succeed. In today's world where you ask Google, ChatGPT questions, find the importance of asking humans and listen to answers. Grab ideas that you understand and hold on to those, explore more insights if you don't understand a concept until you can grasp the concept. To be successful in business, listen with intent, write with impact, tell stories that resonate and practice your communication skills everyday with everyone you meet. Build your influence by sharing important topics that are meaningful and create change. Know how to write for proper tone, sentiment and clarity, as well as brevity that's important.
When looking into universities, ask them what their exit strategy is for students. Do they have a career program that places students into internships that matter to you and land you a career. Go to schools where you might want to live because finding work afterwards is a critical step. Don't just ask do you have a career placement program and they say "yes", dig into that yes, what does that look like, how does it work, give me examples of the types of companies you partner with to place students from your business school (evidence the program works). Ask if there are programs with professors for work placement. Be a teachers pet (its really not a bad label, even though your fellow students might sound like it is, they are jealous and make fun because they aren't). Study hard, invest the time into learning as much as you can (it's exhausting, I know). Learn how to use tools for success - Microsoft is used in most all large corporations understand how to use all programs - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and design and create organizing methods that impact different programs.
When I was in college they did not teach this, it's critical. Google and Youtube can help teach you how to do things as well. Be resourceful and find answers to things that you don't know, don't settle with I don't know how to do it, figure it out. Be realistic, going to college is not for everyone but most major companies require it. If you want to profect a skill and be an independant professional that is another path, but it requires being seen and building relationships to get the word out. An education can not be taken away from you, it's in your tool chest for lifetime. Enjoy the journey and try hard not to be discouraged, you will question it.

valuating the Options for Career & Internship Success
Business Administration (with a focus on Management, Marketing, or Sales): This is generally the safest and most lucrative path for turning an internship into full-time employment. Business schools have structured pipelines, corporate career fairs, and active employer networks that specifically look for juniors and seniors to fill paid summer internships.
Public Relations (PR) & Communications: These fields are entirely built on talking to people, networking, media pitching, and managing relationships. While they offer exciting, dynamic work, starting salaries can sometimes be lower in entry-level agency roles compared to corporate business or sales tracks, though they scale quickly as you build experience.
Business Organization and Leadership: This path prepares you for management and supervisory roles. However, companies rarely hire fresh graduates straight into management without prior experience, making a broader business or marketing major a more flexible foundation.

Hi Breanna, besides the ideas mentioned earlier, consider exploring journalism. Although it's facing some challenges, it's a vital field. You might start by volunteering at your local or school newspaper to see if it catches your interest. Even if you don't pursue a career as a journalist, the skills you gain from a journalism degree, like interviewing, writing, editing, organizing, media production, and meeting deadlines, are useful in many other careers.

Breanna,
Everyone else has addressed your main question, so, I will address it from another angle.
One of the keys to "living comfortably" is knowing how to manage your money.
I recommend you start now to learn about the dangers of using credit cards, shopping for the lowest rate cards, paying off cards on a monthly basis, etc. Protect your credit rating! Learn what factors are considered when determining a credit rating, and work to maintain them.
Also start thinking about the difference between "wants" and "needs." There are a whole range of choices on apartments/ houses/ cars, etc. Transportation and housing are two of the biggest chunks of any budget.
And learning about saving, investing, and an Emergency Fund - this allows you to use your own money to cover unforeseen expenses, rather than borrowing the money. If your employer offers a "match" on your savings, always invest at least the max that they will match.
Finally, insurance. Disability insurance provides you with money if you are medically unable to work. It is a percentage of your income. When we are young, we often don't think about such things, but, sometimes things happen. Also medical insurance.
I say all of this because there are some people who earn a sweet salary, but are still struggling to make ends meet between paydays. What you spend is as important as what you earn. You don't have to live frugally, just wisely.
Best,
Kim

Studying Communications is really useful and flexible. You can use it in any type of business. It's a good idea to build your skills in Communications first and then decide which field you like, such as private companies, public services, healthcare, technology, or government. Pairing Communications with Business courses is also smart because it gives you focused skills with wide-ranging uses.
