Hey. Need some advice. I'm starting my sophmore year this coming fall 2008 at a community college and still havent decided on what my major is. Theres some things that I am interested in, but still unsure of. Anything I can do that can help me kinda figure out what I might want to major in? is there a test I can take that might be helpful in choosing my major? thanks a bunch!

Hmm. Well, what do you enjoy spending time doing?
"But when it ends and while it ends, something comes, after so much rage, persistence, obstinacy, extravagance; something entirely unexpected and touching in its mildness and goodness. With the motif passed through many vicissitudes, which takes leave and so doing becomes itself entirely leave-taking, a parting wave and call, with this D G G occurs a slight change, it experiences a small melodic expansion. After an introductory C, it puts a C sharp before the D. . .and this added C Sharp is the most moving, consolatory, pathetically reconciling thing in the world. It is like having one's hair or cheek stroked, lovingly, understandingly, like a deep and silent farewell look. . . . " (Mann: 55).

Go into a computer major! Or maybe a graphic arts major. I recommend computers because I majored in it and had the same hobbies as you. I also loved my major....Information Systems.

Do a combination of things. Get advisement from your dean. Go over what classes you've done well in and enjoyed as well as other classes you are interested in taking. Think about what career path you want to take. Then do some research on your own outside of school (ie: ask people in the profession you want about advice, etc). I wish I did such things before changing majors 3 times. yes 3 times lol.
SAVE THE DRAMA FOR YOUR OMONA!

Do you have any particular interests? I would do whatever makes you happy, personally, regardless of whether or not it appears to be financially viable. A lot of my friends are doctors and they're completely miserable, because it wasn't what they really wanted to do. Whereas I'm going to Grad School for my Master's in Literature, with plans to get my PhD and become a Professor later--which will never make me rich, but it does make me happy, and that's all I really care about. I think if you love something enough to pursue it with all of your will, you can find a way to make money with it.
