Oh hon, how old are you?  You sound JUST LIKE me when I was just finishing up school.\n\nNo one can (or should) tell you what to do with your life, especially not a bunch of strangers who know nothing about you.  It's a hard decision, and one that you need to really do a lot of soul searcing on.\n\nGo ahead and keep going to school.  Take a wide variety of subjects, and see what tickles your fancy.  Then do some research on those careers - what a typical work day is like, what a normal salary is, how much education is required, what the job market is like now, and what the projected job market will be like once you've finished your degree.\n\nI know you may be asking just to ask, but in case you are really looking for serious advice, I hate to see anyone do it the hard way like I did (married, working full time and going to school, too.)  I THOUGHT I knew what I wanted to do, and jumped straight into it my freshman year of college to find out I hated it.  Two major changes later I finally ended up dropping out.\n\nSo, since it sounds like we have a lot in common, besides accounting (what I do now) I have also considered - financial advisor, psychologist, teaching, engineering, and architecture.  I also plan, sometime in the next few years, to start my own business as a contract bookkeeper.\n\nEdited - typos galore :)

Doing your college research is important and a good thing to get started on early. However, there is a step that must begin prior to that. \n\nIn order to maximize your search, you need to start thinking about your needs. From a planning perspective can you answer the following:\n1. What are my strengths? What am I good at?\n2. Instead of thinking about my major, what do I want a career in? What are my career interests? \n3. What do I know about my personality? Do I have a preference for extraversion/introversion, etc. How can I be sure to "fit" my career, and my college choice?\n4. What are my values? What matter's most to me?\n\nThe start of your college research starts with self awareness. If you can honestly answer the questions above, then you will be more informed and can make a confident decision on what is the right college for you.\n\nHere are some links for good steps in self awareness.\n1. Strengths: http://www.strengthsquest.com This site is becoming widely used by college and universities in their leadership programs. \n2. Interests: http://apps.collegeboard.com/myroad/navi... This is a career interest service provided by the College Board. Good start at interests. \n3. Job market and outlook: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ This site is run by the Dept. of Labor on current job and economic trends impacting the workplace.\n4. Personality: http://www.typefocus.com/ This site provides a free personality assessment that you can use for learning about your personality preferences. \n\nBy doing some of your own "personal" homework, and increasing your own self awareness, you can then truly make a well informed decision about what college to attend. \n\nI hope this helps!

Do you have an idea of what your other paragraphs are going to be about? It'll help  to determine what to write in your first paragraph. But here's maybe an idea that may be useful:\n\nThese strengths and weaknesses can be found in academics, athletics and talents.  In many areas these strengths and weaknesses are innate while others are things that I have strived hard at or can work to improve.  I have many strengths and weaknesses.  One of my greatest strengths is in the area of (academics/athletics/other talents) while my greatest weaknesses are __________.

You take your favorite hobby, something your really good at, and something that pays the most money and find your happy medium. No career test is going to determine what you really want out of life. The best advice I can give you is don't pick a career just because it pays well or you will be very dissappointed.

Well, to be qualified.  A 14 year old might do better math then a 35 year old who didnt pay attention in school.  But who is going to believe a 14 year old?  BTW, I just answered a question on one of the worse jobs to take.  One out of the 3 was psychology.  The reason being is because its soo hard to find a job.  Thats why alot of psy majors go for their PHD's.  Dont go straight to your major.  Do something like paralegal service where a lawyer knows that u know how to figure out research, and can help them with psychological tendencies in humans.  Its not the wrong time, but really, its definately not the best.  Work at the social security office, they might take you.  Dont go straight for your major when finding jobs.  Translations, medical script translation is good, sales, contractor or "closers" for contractors, management at a low level, like micky D's, car salesman, customer service at stop and shop or shaws pays like 30 or 32k starting (this is agood one actually).  Just show them your psychological prowess at stop and shop and u might get it without even knowing it.  The main point is showing that you always keep your cool.  Dont say anything harsh.  Just keep your cool, and figure out logically what to say without showing emotion.  Just keep smiling.  Good luck bro.

I hated math.  I'm really religous.  I liked the idea of teaching.  I love history.  I tried Elementary Ed loved the idea, still do but I'm afraid to say it didn't feel right.  I tried History major, Got F's.  I took some classes on the Bible, Got D's.  Then I tried Engineering.  Got A's.  I'm now a Assembly Process Engineer.  Go for all of them, you're probably good at what you hate!

You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

No matter what you choose for a career, you will need to do things you don't like to do.  It's a fact of life.  If you did well in those subjects, you shouldn't have any trouble with proofs.  It's just a way of enforced, documented, systematic thinking.  If you don't like proofs, it's more likely a bad experience with a class or a teacher than with the discipline itself.  Talk about it with some of your academic friends, either in math or engineering.  Work through some examples with them, and they may help you figure out something in your thought process that's throwing you off track.

I had this same problem.  My advice to you is to pick a major that you would be GOOD at.  When you're good at something you'll enjoy it more and instead of letting the money drive you, your passion will.

does not matter whether you are an art or science stream... coz journalism is both. But you need extra effort to improve your oral and writing skills. Who knows, you might write topics about computer science, medicine, atomic bomb etc... Good luck in future

My cousin does this.  She started out in basic biology and got very high grades.  She then went on to get a Masters degree and some post grad research.  There are not a lot of jobs like that so it's a buyer's market (employers get to pick and choose).  You have to have good qualifications to be a serious contender.  Good grades and having internships at known companies really helps.  Oh, and publish, publish, publish!

As an HR professional I would suggest brushing up on these:  What do you know about our company and why would you be a good fit?  Why did you choose your major/college?  Where do you see yourself in 5 years?  What are your strengths/weaknesses?  Tell me about your most successful moment.  What would your friends/colleagues/family say about you?  Good luck!

explain that you enjoy helping people, want to contribute to society, bullet point the reasons before you type them in.\nAlso write about you're good points. Universities love gloating

Try listing all of your hobbies and what you like to do. List all of your strengths in school and all your strengths as a person. Then from that list. Just go through career options that seem to make sense in accordance to all the groups you just listed. Then the answer will simply reveal itself.

It sounds as if you know what your passion is, and that's fundamental.  What about taking part-time courses to further a career in Managing a team?  Or Transportation of a team?  Even Appointment Secy/Mgr.  Coaching/asst. coaching.  Find out the different positions that are available and directly involved, and talk to a human resources person (There's another position!) about your goals. They might have suggestions for both the positions you'd be qualified for and what type of certification/education might be helpful.  GO FOR IT!

Start with studying English.  If your resume is as atrociously bad as your question in terms of spelling, grammar and punctuation, you will never be hired for anything.\n\nAfter you can compose a sentence, then a paragraph and finally a report, an article or a short story, you might consider taking the Strong Campbell Interest survey or a similar instrument (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/CDC/students/start/assessments.html)\n to begin to sort out what you are interested in.  If you can afford it, the Johnson O'Connor organization (http://www.jocrf.org/)\nmay be able to help you uncover what sorts of aptitudes you possess that would help you find success in life.\n\nGood luck.

My crystal ball cannot predict what academic majors will have the most career potential, no one else can either. Just do what interests you the most. College is a waste of your time if you do it only to get a career, you're more likely to enter into a field unrelated to your major. Learn to bullshit, no good bullshit that will actually convince someone.
