Advice needed - what should I major in?

See your advisor. They have access to software, personality tests, and other tools that can help you narrow down your choices. My second piece of advice would be to reflect. Talk to loved ones and close friends in order to discover the areas where you excel and thrive. Many students don’t realize they are strong in certain content areas or that they have a knack for a certain type of work. Reflect on the courses, books, and studies you could spend all day learning more about. Instead of fitting inside of a major box, consider the topics you could spend all day debating or talking about. All of this should help inform your decision.

Don’t forget this statistic: college students change their major three times on average! So the most important factor should be whether you will be happy and challenged at a school, regardless of the major you end up with.

I would highly recommend against using your main interests as the only determining factor when choosing a major. Sure, you might love video games but that doesn’t automatically mean computer science is going to translate as the right major for you. Try to think about where you feel the most fulfilled in your life—not necessarily where you have the most fun.

If you aren’t super passionate about any single field and you’re still sort of on the fence about multiple majors, take your future potential earnings into account. If there’s a choice between three equally interesting majors and two of them pay a lot less than the third, go for the third one! People like to emphasize the importance of choosing a major you care about, but they don’t always take the salary into account. If you’re open, at least be on the side of open and profitable.

Relatedly, don't assume you know all the jobs you could get with specific degrees. Doing research, you might realize there are a lot more lucrative majors than you realized. For instance, English gets a bad rap as a "useless degree," but it's essential for all sorts of important, meaningful, and even lucrative jobs, like, yes, teacher, but also lawyer, editor, administrative assistant, interpreter or translator, tech writer, content writer, lots of possibilities! Do your research. You might be surprised at what your future could look like if you follow your passion.

I know how that feels. think about what you enjoy and what makes you good money. but trust yourself with the choice and there's always a way to switch jobs.
