I'm 19/f. I'm in college...2nd year now.

During my first year and during the summer I completed all core classes...so now it's just up to taking courses for my major!

The thing is, I don't know what I wanna major in. I'm currently taking chemistry, biology, and physics...thinking I wanted to be a science major. But now I'm not sure. I don't know what I wanna do as a career, thus don't know what my major/focus should be.

I know I want to be well off. I want an income of $60,000+/year....I do NOT want a 'desk job' (maybe occasionally having to sit at a desk, fine...but not all day every day!)

I don't know what there is for me!

My interests:
---Architecture (don't wanna major in it though)
---Meteorology (dying out slowly...not gonna be a very high demand by the time I graduate)
---Air Traffic Controlling

Once you get through your GE and get into your major, more ideas will come to you. Teachers and counselors can help, too.

go to a career counselor then.

you should be fine for now, but look for a job in those fields that have field study as a requirement.

It's only your second year. Chillax. You do'nt have to decide anything, just yet. I'm a Junior, and I'm JUST now deciding what to do with my life, despite the social concept that puts you into a Degree Program in your early high school years.

Doctor.
Major in bio-chemistry.
If your squeamish, you might want to be friendly with that desk there.
