ok i have no idea what i want to major in...im only a freshman in HS but still. i dont like any of my subjects in school, they're all boring

i like psychology but i could never, ever see myself as a therapist and that is such a cliché major

Pyschology has alot more uses than just therapist, Its very useful in fields like Criminal Justice and Human Resources. HR people tend to be paid rediculously well too.

Maybe you should wait a while before trying to declare a major. I'm a Freshman in college and I still don't know what I wanna major in

you're what, like 15? Seriously, I'm a senior in college and I still don't really know what I want to do in my life. You will however develop interests over time. What can you see yourself doing as a job? Research some jobs you are interested in and see what majors for most people who do that job were.

Psychology isn't a "cliche" major to choose, it's a tough one and a good one if that's what you're interested in. If you don't know what you want to do yet, just go to a four year school that has things you're interested in and drift for a year or two. If you think you like Psychology, take a Psych course or two that would not only fulfill a Psych requirement but a Gen Ed requirement as well so it's not time and money wasted.

First... Identify whether you're good with Science or Humanities.

Pick one, then look at all the majors.
Compare the job market and the pay rate.

Now choose one.
