can I study business, architecture and a bachelor of fine arts in one go ?

I want to create my business, but I also love architecture and am deeply interested in art. I want to have something that connects all three of these things. I want to see if there's a way to study all of these things at the same time. and to see what universities or colleges have classes that can be studied, or learn all three topics at once

What, internships or volunteering should I do, I’m a 16 year old and I’m looking for any internships for psychology or any organizations I can volunteer for online.

I’ve been doing a few things and created a few clubs like a Red Cross branch, and have been volunteering in other ways for other mental health organizations. But I was looking for any psychology things I could do, I was currently looking at crisis volunteer lines I could do. But if there is any other please let me know it would be greatly appreciated!

How can I best explore my interests to pursue a fulfilling career path as an undecided student? What steps can I follow to ensure that my education is worthwhile in the long run in terms of finding a well-paying career I am passionate about?

I am a senior in high school and am currently enrolled in a 4-year university that I will attend this upcoming academic year. I am all over the place in what career I want to follow in the future. First I had an interest in law for the longest time, then throughout high school I was set on working in sports media/management, and just recently I have taken an interest in pursuing physical therapy. So clearly, I am all over the place in what I have an interest in when it comes to career paths. I feel way behind my peers as they are already super passionate and set on what they want to do in life. I am going into college undecided but my worry is how I will be able to figure out what I want to do within the next few years. While being able to receive a great education, I want to make sure that it is worth it and I find something I am passionate about and can make a great career out of.

What's the best way to find out which field you're interested in ?

I'm a high school senior, heading to Purdue For Industrial Engineering. I chose the major due to its breadth but, of course, at some point I'll have to specialize. I'm currently into teaching and data analytics-related roles but I'm still not quite sure what I want to do as my interests change frequently.

Is getting a sociology degree worth it?

I'm a high school senior interested in sociology, but I have heard that it won't set me up well for my future career, or that it's a "useless" degree. I value community engagement, and I enjoy studying how different communities interact with each other, human development and psychology, and I love writing. It sounds like a major that would fit my interests, but is it really a waste of time?

How do you decide on your major Do you have any advice to quell the worries on someone still unsure of their passion and stressing about the uncertainty of the future??

This year, I was supposed to be a junior in high school, However, I followed a pathway that allowed me to combine my junior and senior year courses into one year, and I plan to graduate a year early. On one hand, this was an accomplishment I am proud of. However, recently I have been stressing myself out about going into college at a younger age with an undecided major. For my mental and social well-being, I feel like college is a good plan for me to develop the stability and productivity of continuing my education, not to mention that I genuinely want to continue. Nevertheless, it still becomes taxing wondering whether attending university will be resourceful or regretful in the long run. I can't help but have doubts going into a university that will be financially demanding whilst still debating what major I will choose. Any advice?
