This question dominates most students' minds when thinking generally about "what to do" in college. Your attitude toward your interests, and selecting a college or university that is a good match for your learning style, abilities, and skills is as critical as the financial considerations of going to college!\n\nToday, the largest universities offer hundreds of degrees in programs that range from preparation for graduate school to specialized education in an emerging technology. With all this to choose from, how do you know what to pick?\n\nMost guidance professionals in colleges and high schools will tell you that the average student changes majors three to five times during a four-year degree, and the average working adult makes at least three career changes.\n\nLet's use the analogy of a career "toolbox". No matter what you choose, you will need a standard set of tools that will serve you during your working lifetime. This toolbox should include, at minimum: communications skills (critical reading, writing, listening, and public speaking); information management skills (identifying, retrieving, assembling, and presenting data from sources such as libraries, the World-Wide Web, etc.); and human relationship skills (being able to conduct business with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds.\n\nThese tools are considered transferable and essential by most corporations and non-profit agencies throughout the American, and, increasingly, the global workforce. Now, think of your interests. For example, if you are interested in teaching, love geography, are very comfortable with computer software,\nand have been playing the trombone for 10 years, you know a lot about yourself!\n\nYour first job is to use any of the common college search guides, such as Peterson's, Barron's, Fiske's, etc. to narrow your choice of schools that offer all of these interests. The CD-ROM technology and on-line services such as CollegeLink or CollegeTown make this process easier. Next, determine\nwhich colleges offer your interests in the form of a major, a minor, a series of elective credits, or non-traditional programs such as self-designed majors.\n\nIf you really do want to combine academic areas, such as geography, education, and music, you will want to choose a college where it is normal for students to develop individualized programs. Make sure faculty mentors are involved with course selection, and you can graduate within the time frame you expect. If you really want to teach, but want to keep up with your trombone playing, you may want to consider taking electives in music and "major" in one area.\n\nFinally, understand that you do not have to choose your major or academic area at most colleges until the second, or sophomore, year. Most schools have common freshman requirements that allow for exploring different majors.\n\nIf you are interested in so many things that you find it hard to choose, consider that a good thing! Find a school that specializes in integrating your interests into a personalized academic program. See your guidance counselor for advice on picking colleges that offer this option.

Check your local university's Education Department. The secretary will be able to provide up-to-date information concerning degree requirements and even alternative certification programs. Good luck.

Check to see if any professors who will be writing you a letter of recommendation have a suggestion as to what school is best for what you want to do.  (I have a friend who is in urban planning but is concerned also about human relations in urban settings and thus was recommended to NYU)\nTry the best you can to figure out what you want to do with your degree, many Universities have slightly different focuses in regards to the field of study so it is important to know whether you will be working in the public or private sector, small town or large, etc.

Write the university and have them mail your their degree programs.... before you can decide you have to know whatis offered...

depends on where you're from, and also what universities you apply to. I guess the first step would be to find universities you'd be interested in, making correspondence with them, finding out their admission criteria, and take it from there. I'm sure they will tell you what to do next ;)

Political Science....PolySci.  It would be a major to afford avenues into many meaningful professions.  Law, news, politics and many more.

Anything in the science industry. Mechanical engineering (hopefully you like math as well) and other kinds of engineering. Astronomy. Definitely astronomy. Or just stick to the pure physics and apply to grad school for it.

Well, this really depends on what you want to do with your college degree and in general what you are interested in.  I would suggest picking something that you are interested in and take that.  Pick subjects that are required for your major, but also select electives that you find interesting or that you are curious about.

depends on what you are looking for.  figure out what your professional goals are in life.  then look at colleges/universities that offer the best programs for that profession.  from there, look at the student life that the campus offers along with the benefits of the surrounding community.  another thing to consider is the weather and how it differs to what you are used to.  a major thing to look into is the cost of going there, it will really rise if you go out of state.  what scholarships do they offer?  at first it seems the further the better, but the distance from home is important too.  \n\nif you need a suggestion of what to look into, i went to the University of Texas at Austin and my husband went to Texas Christian University.  Both are great for their own reasons.

I recommend the performing arts, theatre studies in particular.\n\nIt will expose you to a wide range of cultural expressions very quickly and give you a good idea of the sort of direction you want to go. Besides which, they tend to be pretty welcoming people who are always good to hang around with. \n\nBe the change you want to see in the world. Good luck

I am pursuing this career also.  My main advice if you're just starting is to make sure the school you choose is accredited.  Many unaccredited programs will offer you online courses and take your money, but a degree from them isn't really worth anything.

It's very wide open for you.  Best to combine your degree with an interest or other certification or experience.  For example, if you want to do PR, consider an internship somewhere.\nTeacher\nJournalist\nPublic Relations\nBroadcast Journalism \nRadio DJ\nWriter\nReporter\nMarketing\nSales\nCommunications (interpersonal or technical)\nBusiness or Reseach Analyst\n...and lots more.  If you go to a job board like hotjobs or monster and type "communications", you'll get an idea of what potentially is out there.
