I don't know how to figure out what I want to do for a career?

Question

In the fall I start at a local community college full time taking general studies for now to get them out of the way. I also will be working full time at my job which is a bank. My problem is I can't decide on what i would want to major in because I can't see me doing the whole banking thing my whole life and I'm afraid that if i do something along those lines that its only bc its practical and i'm already in it. I'm very interested in law and my college offers a paralegal program which i used to do at another school but had to quit. Like i said I'm very interested in law I've always dreamed of being an FBI agent but dont' knwo how to go about doing that. I do not want to be a uniform or traffic cop. Just either a detective or an agent. I"m just so confused should i go for paralegal or criminal justice or law. Or go for banking? And how do you go about becoming an FBI agent? HELP!!!!!!

Answer 1

Try taking a few classes in each of these areas, or do volunteer work somewhere in any of these areas.  Really, you are never going to know what you are wanting to do until you try.  You shouldn't be too worried, a lot of people don't know what they are going to do with their lives when they enter college, they even change their minds a few times a long the way.  You'll figure it out!  Good luck!

Answer 2

Checkout the FBI website and do what you want.  That sounds like criminal justice.  I say go for your dream and if it doesn't workout for some odd reason you could look into paralegal.
