Answer 1

Welcome to my world! I've had trouble for years deciding on what i want to do and study. If you like physics, go for it. you don't have to be engineer.

You might want to start off taking math classes and courses that are required for all degrees, bachelor's of arts or sciences (like English 101 or speech), or maybe a physics class.

Once you get adjusted to college life, you might want to try some of the many studies that incorporate heavy math. There's chemistry, geology, cartography, architecture, or actuarial science, which is like a combo of probability, financial, and economic statistics, all to calculate risk factors.

I made the mistake of studying business law, but while I was in such a program, I cam across a course call microeconomics. The introductory level requires basic algebra, but as you progress, alot of math becomes involved, especially at the graduate level.  It also requires the same very "logical" sort of mind needed to be a scientist, engineer, or mathematician. Now it's my major!

Stop by your local library and check out some career books, and go to a career day convention and ask any questions the Internet can't.

I was once in the same boat as you, so I started off at community college that way it would cost me alot less to mess up in courses that wouldn't work out for me, like law or accounting.

Power to ya, man!

Answer 2

If you're really brainy, you could go to Cal Tech, MIT, or check the site below for other top tech colleges to get you started.

You could major in math or accounting or finance > all providing excellent career opportunities.  You could qualify for positions as a professor, engineer, CPA,  auditor, or bank manager to name a few.

Be all you can be!

It really depends on what you're interested in, but engineering has a great job market right now.
