How do I know if the major I have is right for me ?
I am a Marine Science student concentrating in Oceanography with a double minor in Biochem and chem, attending the University of New England. I am a first year and this would be my fourth time switching my majors and minors around. I have always been interested in the ocean, but there is a part of me that is still interested in criminology. My original plan was Marine Science and Political Science, but that didn't work out. So how do I know if I am choosing the right path, if I'm enjoying my classes and helping with oceanography research? #Spring26
How do I know what career i should pursue to earn ?
I am clueless, and I am a Master's degree student. The thing is, I can do whatever I put my mind to. I don't have any goals, and I lack skills. I can learn things once I know what direction I have to follow because right now it feels like I have the option of doing anything, which makes me feel stuck and confused.

Switching Major from SWE to cyber Security ?
I completed an associates in computer programming, but taking intro to software engineering in my first semester of university I realized I actually hate coding and dread doing it. I thought of switching to cyber security instead cause its less coding. I honestly hate coding at this point or at least that's how university makes me feel. Everywhere says don't switch stick with SWE (software engineering), but I literally have started dreading going to class. It doesn't help that everywhere on the internet says everyone can code now and unless you're real passionate you won't ever make it. I'm scared to switch to cyber security cause everyone says it too is a over saturated market ,but at least maybe I won't dread it like I do SWE? When I was in community college I was so happy to learn coding, but now I never want to look at it again, but I need to finish a bachelor's degree in something. Any advice is appreciated ,Seriously please help! I feel really lost ....
