What should I do when I leave school? I need to decide, but I can't...?

Question

I really need to decide what I should do when I leave school. I am unsure of what to do a degree in, so I need some help as I need to decide soon.

I'm not gloating, but I am really good at every subject, so I'm not really limited by that. I LOVE English, Graphics and Art and Design the best though, so I am 100% sure I want to do something creative.

I am leaning towards doing a degree in Graphic design or Communication design, but I am still uncertain.

I love English too, so I was toying with the idea of a journalism degree, but there are already too many journalists where I live, so everyone just ends up writing for a local newspaper. I could do a fashion journalism degree, but there is no market for that here in New Zealand.

Fashion is pretty much my life, but a fashion design degree will lead nowhere. Everyone thinks they are going to be the next great fashion designer but no one ever is, so I don't think I will be either.

Answer 1

liberal arts degree, then specialize in something for the masters after taking classes in interested areas.

Answer 2

I honestly think you need to actually take the time to think about all this. You got all your options in front of you. All you need to do as analyze and do the process of elimination. Good luck honey, it's true we can't choose what we want you to do. We can't live your life, so do what feels best to you :).

Once again Good Luck!

Answer 3

Just do what you like best.  We can't make the decision for you silly girl.

Answer 4

You seem little one to have 1/2 of it figured out, but what really makes you happy? What you love doing everyday of your life! That would not get old, and you getting tired of it, and being upset you picked this when you should have picked that? Such as: You love English,Graphics, and you want to design and creative, sounds good, but you're interested in film-making, and communications, so why don't you get degrees in journalism,and graphic designs, and then go another direction instead of just writing for the newspaper, go further such as: you say you like fashions, go this way write the newest fads in your country, and other countries, you could even design your clothing? Or have your own graphic design institution, and  you could have your own communications designs in any field you go into.Does this sound good to you? Little one YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO, AND YOU WILL BE THE BEST AT IT!While you are busy making your life [do me a favor]? Remember this saying: DON'T BE SO BUSY MAKING A LIFE THAT YOU FORGET TO LIVE IT!Have fun!!!Go your different ways of your life, just have fun along the way!
