How do I choose what major / career if I'm interested in everything and nothing really stands out?

I was going to pursue law, but then acupuncture sounded interesting, but also com sci. I don't have experience in any of these three categories, so who knows? Maybe I won't like all of them. I'm applying to college soon, but I don't really have an idea of what I want to do so I'm kind of stuck. How did you guys choose your careers / majors?

How do I know what to major in when I go to college?

As an incoming senior in high school, I am like most other students who don't know what they want to major in in college. I enjoy business and computer science, so that is most likely what I am interested in. My question is how did you find out what you wanted to major in? Were there any events or extracurriculars that helped you decide? And if you don't like your major, how easy or hard is it to switch over?

How do I begin to navigate a 4 year college plan as a sophomore?

Im a first gen student with no prior experience with GOOD counselors. Im in an externship, clubs, etc but how do i figure out the right major, next steps, etc. How do I go about figuring what I am passionate about, where to find classes that are beneficial to me while fulfilling major requirements, If i am even in the right major, etc. I don't want to get behind by switching too late, and my schedule is very hectic so meeting in person with counselors isn't always an option, plus i am already a sophomore already. I really just want to know how a professional's college experience went and what they found beneficial in college. Please help!

I realized I strongly dislike my major. What should I do?

I started college three years ago as an Architecture major (my program is 5 years long). I dreamed to be an architect since I was around 8 years old, so I thought it would my ideal college major... but even after three weeks into my freshman year I realized it wasn't what I really wanted. My parents told me to finish freshman year because maybe I would actually like it. I finished that year and I still didn't liked it, but my parents basically forced me to keep going. Now that I'm already halfway through it, I realized I hate it (so much that, from being in the Dean's list, now I'm in the list of students on academic probation). I'd rather work as a cashier than doing this all my life. Obviously, my parents are not keen with the idea of me dropping out (They told me if I do it, they would disown me and I would be dead for them). Because of all this, I've been battling moderate depression and severe anxiety this last 4 months. I know the semester is almost over (I start finals tomorrow and have no idea of what I will do, because I can't even study without feeling bad). In all this time, the only classes I've actually liked are the ones related to writing and to history. So I told my parents that I want to change majors, and either be an English major or an Art History one. They told me those degrees were worthless (As much as Architecture I guess...) and that I'm immature and stupid for even thinking about it. I guess I gave them so much hope as a child (I skipped 2 grades, used to be a spelling be and participate in math decathlons), that when I chose Architecture as my major they were a little disappointed and now that I want to change it, I've disappointed them a lot more. So, what do you think I should do? Should I drop out/change majors? or should I get my degree in Architecture? #english #majors #architect #choosing-a-major

Do you think it is worth doing the IB program to get into a top 20 school?

I selected my classes for next year and chose to do the IB program. I am starting to regret that choice. I would rather do partial IB. Do you think It’ll look bad if I drop out of the IB program to do partial IB? My goal is to get into a top 20 school. Also my school is an IB school so they do not offer AP classes. I am currently in 10th grade.

How do you find your passion and turn it into a career?

I participate in a wide variety of hobbies and activities like track, volleyball, art, band, you name it, I've probably done something similar. I've considered careers in every single one of these areas, but none of them seem to truly stick. I have a suspicion that my true passion could simply be helping people. I've always enjoyed helping people who need it on all levels. But I don't know how I would make it into a stable career.
