NextStepU - Helping students find the right path!

Sure :D If you really have no clue what you want to do, then enroll in a college that has many, many undergrad majors to choose from. You may go in undecided, take an elective in something, and fall right in love with it.

That's how it worked for my sister, except she went to MIT. She went in wanting to be an engineer, took an elective in Geology, and threw the engineering stuff out the window. The problem she had though was that she enrolled in an engineering school, and expensive one at that ($60,000/yr), and their science program is limited. That's why she wishes she would have gone to a much larger school, where she could get a taste of everything, and dive into the one she wanted.

So don't feel bad if it seems like everyone around you has their majors figured out, because in reality, most of them are in the same boat you are.

You dont have to decide right now but in choosing a major think about your interest and what makes you happy. Sometimes people go to college and major in something just to make their parents happy but later regret it.

i actually refused outright to my teachers guidance councilors and parent to go to school until i knew what i wanted to do. Scary thought from their valedictorian. Luckily a position opened up in my school's cafeteria/ meeting/ study area. It doubles as a event center. So i ended up running the sound board the the lights. I fell in love. that drove me into the emerging broadcasting elective. They were just setting it up at the time so i got a lot of hands on experience with live sound equipment and recording. That what i want to do for the rest of my life. If I hadn't fallen into that i would have taken a gap year, moved away and immersed my self in the world with paying thousands of dollars... just my opinion though.

Many people go to college undecided on a major and many change their major once they get into college because of the variety.
Don't worry about it. Sign up for all of your basic classes while your a freshman (english, mathmatics, foreign language, etc). Then sign up for something that looks interesting to you, or something you think you'd have fun doing.

I can't add much that someone else hasn't already mentioned, but I got some advice on choosing your classes for college, and especially your freshman year. My friend said not to take more than a couple of hard classes at once, or it could bury you. That's just him though, and he's a pretty laid back kinda-guy, so it might just be that he couldn't handle more than a couple of tough classes a semester. Don't forget to try something that looks interesting to you, even in your freshman year. I don't think that it would be a bad idea to talk to teachers, counselors, and new friends when your in college. I know that that's a ways away for you, but I don't think that it hurts to get this kind of info sooner rather than later. And don't worry about not knowing what you want to do. I'm a senior in high school and don't know what I wanna do with my life! :)
