Answer 1

Yes--my suggestion is, don't trust any opinions you get here.  We don't know enough about you to give good advice.

Instead, get career counseling.  You probably can find it free at your local community college--they'll provide it because (a) it's community service (b) it's recruiting students for them, maybe.

That career center at your community college should have the tools to assess your attitudes and aptitudes, and then to provide a short list of careers that match you.  Then they can also access state and federal information about projected salary and demand in those professions.  Then when you choose one, they can guide you to the college programs necessary to prepare for it--and later, if you enroll at that college, they can help with resumes, interviewing tips, and maybe even contacts with employers.

Career development offices are the greatest thing people can access in college--and far too few people use them.

Answer 2

Check out your colleges career center. Many times they have counselors who work with studens just like you. They will help and work with you to fit all of your needs and help you to find what you are looking for.

Answer 4

tickle.com has tests that can help you find out your interests and skills. If all else fails, start with a humanities or liberal studies major, as almost anything falls in those categories. Then when you find out what you like, you can change majors.

If you like psychology, you could specialize in art therapy for children. Or you could use theater as a form of physical therapy for them.

Answer 5

If you love art, then major in art. I have learned that unless you are going into a profession like medicine, or accounting, or something that requires specific training to do, it really doesn't matter a whole lot what you major in.

College level learning is generalizable learning. That's not just a casual definition, but it's a requirement that accredited post-secondary learning instutions must be prove about its curriculum to receive an accreditation. So, if you really are learning at a college level, you can take the principals you learn in any program and apply them to other areas of endeavor. I always recommend to study what you love, what gets you out of bed every day, what puts you in contact with the kinds of people you want to spend the day with, because school is hard, it's expensive, and it is the first step into a lifelong world of vocation. You can get a good paying job with an art degree. You just have to connect the dots yourself from art classes to the work you want to do, and make a convincing presentation to the person doing the hiring. I have a psychology degree. I work in international public relations. I studied psych because the subject matter interested me. I use what I learned, indirectly, every day. In my work I have to know how to get inside people's heads, usually from demographic studies, samples, focus groups, etc., and find out what they know/don't know and put together strategies to reach them, teach them, and persuade them. How could a psych degree NOT be applicable to that? Yet every job I've applied for in PR specifies "a degree in communications, marketing, or the equivalant". They are thinking small, because they don't know. I learned how to make presentations in school, how to write persuasively, and I am very employable. An art degree shows an aesthetic sense, so you could make a fine case for working at any design associated type of company. Study what you love, figure out the next step when the time comes, connect your own dots.
