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?

What happens after college?

I'm still thinking about majors, but I just don't know what happens after college. I'd want to study something involving homeland security, but I know it's more complex than that. I know there's different routes you can take from there, but it's hard to figure that out.

I am interested in joining the law enforcement as a Patrol Officer. I would love to know how your experience has been doing the job or working towards it.

As I was growing up till now in 10th grade, I've heard about good and bad police and I would like to be a good cop and help protect people because the feeling that you get from helping others is truly exhilarating. I also like to handle guns, but not to kill other beings. I'm a little nervous about how dangerous it might be so if explanation on that would help a lot. #military #law-enforcement #police-officer

As a criminal profiler, do you get fulfillment and joy from your job?

I am interested in pursuing a career in criminal profiling, however I know the burnout rates in a job such as this could be high. I have spent a lot of time researching this profession, but I wasn't able to find many answers about the emotional aspect of it. And the little exposure I have had through the media does not go into detail regarding the emotional impact of this profession. I want to know if this job is worth pursuing or is the emotional toll attached to it too great? #criminalprofiling #burnout #criminal-justice #criminology #law-enforcement

What would I have to major in to get a job on homeland security? And what does a job in homeland security entail?

I am currently a junior in high school and have always been interested in some kind of job with the government or military. I grew up under the influence of my grandfather who was enlisted in the navy during the Vietnam war and and have since aspired to enlist or obtain a job related to the defense of the united states. However, I do not know what a job like homeland security entails and what i would be doing if I were to become an analyst or work for the department of homeland security. #police #military #law-enforcement #fbi #homeland-security #national-security
