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?

Is it hard to become an investigator/detective without previously being a cop? And what majors would be beneficial for pursuing this career?

I know that a lot of investigators are or were police and worked to rank up to that position. I want to go into his field without joining the police. As for majors, I know criminal justice and law are good starts but what about psychology? Other than this career, I would love to go into something do do with psychology and sociology and work to understand and help people. Would this help a career in becoming an investigator?

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.

How do I go about pursuing a career in biology/forensics?

Outside of high school courses, how can I gain experience and knowledge that will lead me to a career focused on forensics? I've been super into science and art for a long time- I draw all the time and really enjoy research, note-taking, true crime and some of the psychology behind it! I want to find a way for the two passions to work together and I am excited by forensics- I'm taking a course next year (Junior year).
