What is it that you like to do? You are a senior and you still haven't declared a major yet? What are the majority of classes that you have taken? Do you enjoy this subject? You should provide us more information so that we can help you. Do you have any idea of what you want to do after you graduate?

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

Depends on what your degree is in now a days, and it also depends on what job you want.  If you are trying to get a job that is overmanned then you aren't going to get in, but if there is a critical shortage in a field that you want you have a good chance of making it in.

If you had summer jobs in the past, pick one that you enjoyed the most and select a major that relates to that job. Try majoring in Business Administration. It covers all sorts of aspects of business and can be used to obtain any job in the business field. Also, I would recommend if you have any job or career that you fantasize about, go for it! Now is the time.

There are certain "core" classes that need to be completed before you can take classes related to your major.  These include English, communication, computer applications, etc., depending on your major.  These are generally 100 level classes.  Once those are completed, you can take upper level classes which correspond with your year of study.  200 level classes correspond with your Sophomore year and so on.  You can take lower level classes when you are a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior but you can't take higher level classes until you complete your basic, "core" classes.  They will explain this to you further at orientation and you will have an Advisor on campus, once you select your major field of study.  Different classes are taught in different semesters so, if a class interests you, be sure to find out if it is taught only during spring or fall semester so you don't miss out on classes you want to take.  It is cool that you are excited about your upcoming college experience and I wish you well.  Enjoy yourself and be a lifetime learner.

There are always people who love their jobs/subject and they are always going to be better than the people who hate it. \nIf you hate your job/subject you are probably not getting great grades which will make it difficult to find a job later anyway. \nIf you think you will make an excellent job of english/anthropology why waste your time with more microbiology if you hate that (or at least don't love enough that you can put up with chemistry for its sake). \n\nIf you think you will be able to work your butt off for your new major and enjoy doing that it is a good decision, if that's just something to do until you can think of something better it probably isn't, then you should spend some time figuring out what you really want to do. Maybe take a year off and get some work experience in jobs you think may be interesting for you.

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.

Focus on what you will be doing after you finish college.  I know it not fun at times.  Remember to focus and finish.  It is better than changing your major.  It just waste a lot of time.  Most college grads will not even work in the field of their major, so don't worry about it.\n\nSee yourself working in a job that will give you opportunity to go on vacation and enjoying life.  Don't focus too much on the boring aspects of the classes.\n\nIn my boring classes, I always found it easier if their was a good looking smart girl that I focused my attention on.  I didn't want her to think I was dumb, so I would study with her.  It worked.  Find some guy that is cute and smart and the class will be more fun and go by faster.

No. What's more important is that you learn things that interest you. If you learn how to learn, then you can change what you do throughout your life. I know an economics major developing software, a political science major managing a multimillion dollar division of a corporation... what's more important than what these people studied, is that they learned how to pick up new skills, and they jut kept learning things that interested them.\n\nLife will take you lots of interesting places, and you don't need to plan them all before your freshman year of college.

You are short of a degree that will let you do anything.  You need to posess a degree almost specificially to your feild to get most jobs.  Also you say that you don't like competition?  Your gonna have a really hard time having a comfortable life in science because everyone is cut throat and will do just about anything to get ahead of you and make themselves.

I've been thinking about other things that i can do to fall back on and two majors that stand out to me is liberal studies and women studies. they both have many things that you can do with either degree and for the moment you don't have to use it right away so i think that they can be good. personally I've chosen many different things to fall back on that i want to go to school for like event planning, interior design and different languages to go along with my teaching degree. it's all about options. look around and choose a degree that you will enjoy and that in being a stay-at-home-mom can do to help your children. when you are at home you can work from there doing interior design or event planning by having your own business. you can go to school for teaching as you will be teaching your children in some way shape or form even if they go to school. like i said, think of something you enjoy and then find out from a counselor if you can major in it or something similar. good luck and have fun!

More than anything else, I would say you should explore what you like and learn what you have a passion for.  From there decide on how you'll fit that into a career.  I had no idea what to major in when I began in college, but I kept looking.  I was skeptical when they told me that college is a place to explore, but it really is; you just have to be intelligent about it.  Find out what really catches your interest (or heart), and fit your education to that.  After 2.5 years of college, as a former high school slacker, I would say that the most important thing is to enjoy what you’re studying.  You just have to jump into college and learn not to limit yourself.  Learn not to pity yourself when you seem to be studying more than what you think is “reasonable.”  Don’t kill yourself with work in high school; it’s more important to learn what you love to do.

College is quite a bit different then highschool.\n\nFirst nobody CARES if you show up for class or not.\nNobody CARES if you PASS or FAIL.\n\nYes... you can take courses not related to your major, but they will likely delay the time it takes you to graduate with a degree.\n\nwhat else can I help you with?

Do some scholarship searching and get into college.  You'll find that its really a deja vu of high school, except without curfew and parental monitoring.  Its really cool and you will probably be happy there if you miss being a schoolkid.  College kids are just overgrown schoolkids.  As for what to major in, I can't tell you that - you'll have to figure out for yourself what you like to do and find the point where what you like intersects what you are GOOD at.    That will ensure that you can actually pass the courses in your major and get a good paying job after college.  (I changed majors a couple of times in college, trying to find the right thing for me.  So did a lot of people I know.  It seems to have turned out okay for everyone, so go ahead and experiment.)  Talk to a counselor to help with the depression if you can find one.  And keeping in touch with your high school friends will probably help you feel better as well.

A minor does not have to be related to the major at all.  It is a choice to have a minor, so you don't have to have one.  Having a minor is going to require that you have a certain number of credits in the field that you choose for your minor.  It generally looks good on job applications if your minor also relates to the job, but it isn't necessary.\n\nYou will want to check with the department at the school that you are going to to see if they have a minor available.  Most departments do, but not all.  They also vary with how many credits they require and what specific classes you will need to take, so be sure to look into that too.  \n\nAnother option is the double major, which can make more sense sometimes if there isn't much of a difference in the credits you need for the minor or for the major.  That looks good on an application and probably gives you a little more flexibility when choosing what field to go in after school.  Good luck.
