How did you guys decide what major/career was for you?

I kind of always had the desire to go into medicine although I pushed it aside many times.

I've always known what I wanted my major to be, but I've played around a lot with second majors / minors.  speaking from that experience, and what other ople I live with are doing for their majors, I suggest you just take a bun ch of classes.  Figure out a few fields that interest you, and take some of their intro level courses.  Whichever one you like best, you';ll probably be okay majoring in.  Make sure you look through the requirements (some majors have requirements that are completely unrelated to certain aspects of the field that you might find it difficult to take), and consider what sort of things someone does in the field after college.  You should be able to imagine yourself using whatever you major in.

Good luck.  Remember, the average person changes their major four or more times, so don't worry if you can't make up your mind.
