Go Open Option and pick an intro class of each subject you're interested in. You'll have a good idea of what your brain is built for after the semester is over.

I was really worried about what I was going to major in, because i was reaching the end of my 2nd year before I finally decided. Just take numerous classes with subjects that interest you. Also it really helps if you have a major that interests you to go over to the department of that major and talk with the professors about things like jobs you could get with your degree and other questions. I find that your teachers will happily talk to you about things like that.

All during high school and even a year before I started high school I was sure I was going to be a computer programmer or computer engineering major. I took one semester of computer classes and dropped that the next semester. I'm now majoring in digital film making. I also know many people have done something similar; thought they were giong to major in one thing for many years only to change it suddenly in the middle of it all.

Find something you're interested in, love doing, or even a hobby and see if theres anything you do with that. Most universities will let people sit in on a lecture for a few classes to get an idea of what that class and subject is like.

The good news is you still have 2 years to decide. Thats 2 years you can start researching what you want to do and find out what jobs are available and what you can do with certain degrees.

The course I'm doing at uni doesn't require me to pick a major until the end of second year, and I've still got a couple of months of that year left. It's made my job a lot easier in some ways and a lot harder in others. Two years of specialised education has allowed me to develop an interest in some areas and a disinterest in others, but at the same time it's meant that there are a couple of different majors that I now really want to do despite only being able to do one. I know how you feel though, I was the same the whole way through high school. Never knew what I wanted to do afterwards and just kind of ended up studying Biomedicine.

To be honest, I reckon I'm probably going to make my decision based not only on what I'm interested in, but on what the actual course is going to be like. Different majors come with different teaching styles, which I imagine is similar over your way, and so that's going to play a part in my decision as well. I'm also taking into account whether or not I think I can do well academically in my major; if I'm looking at doing post-grad studies after this degree then I'm going to need to get a halfway decent score.

For the record, I'm looking at majoring in Microbiology and Immunology.

Fixed.

My advice to you is to do what you love, but just keep in mind that most BS/BA degrees in the humanities don't typically net people large salaries. If you're planning on majoring in psychology and going to grad school, that's a different story.

If your leaning towards a social science, I would recommend geography. It appears to me the most applicable social science, no offense to other social science majors. And it would definitely be good if you took a language minor(s), Cultural studies concentration, and/or mapping/survey/cartography/GIS/GPS courses. I would highly recommend the first and latter though. The latter can pretty much almost guarantee you employment during your studies and after graduation.

What the hell are you talking about? with a degree in Psych, you can go into marketing, sales, advertising, etc also if you goto grad school you can take it even further and make several thousand more in clinical work or counseling.

Sociology and Anthropology are different from Psychology. Psych is more of an individual basis whereas sociology looks more into how society affects people, and anthropology is about the culture.

There are definitely lots of opportunities with a psych degree. Krazyboys has already mentioned some if you're looking at the bachelors level. Actually, its hard to do much with just a bachelor cuz everyone has it. If you get into grad school, there are numerous opportunities for research. Psychology is not all about clinicial work either. That's only the social aspect of psychology but there's also a biological aspect, where you look into cognition, neural pathways that affect behaviour, how learning and memory works... just to name a few. But it sounds like you prefer the social aspect more.

If you're into counselling, you can always consider MSW (social work). You can do one-on-one or group counselling with people. Depends on where you are, here in Canada it's just 4 years to get your bachelors (anything) plus 2 more years of masters for your MSW. If you want to be a clinical psychologist, you'll need a PhD for that and I really can't see the difference between the two if you're just doing counselling, so I'll suggest an MSW in that case.

Don't worry too much about a set career path yet if you're not sure. Some people take a long time probably because there are better options, except they don't know about it yet. I didn't know what I wanted to do until my third year at uni. Well, i did but they kept changing, and i wasn't really passionate about them anyway. I thought I liked clinical psychology so I got into psych. But I realize I hated it cuz i find that its full of bs. I'm more of a sciency person and there wasn't anything sciency about clinical psych on a practical sense, even if there's the whole "research" on things like personalities with just surveys and questionnaires. So then I find out there's the biological aspect of psych and got into that. I tried out some lab courses, worked with the prof, and realize that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

Have you considered how difficult it may be to get a job as a criminologist? I have no idea myself (I don't even know what a criminologist does), so you might just want to make sure.

I've considered a lot of things and I don't want to lock myself into any programs right now that will *bleep* me in the butt if I decide to switch so I'm sticking with the Business Management program for now. My father (who is also a college professor) advised me to stick with this program because it has a minimal chance of butt-*bleep*ing me if I do decide on something else and a minor in Management never hurt.

I'd drop management and go to Finance if you have no idea what you want to do. When you look up any business-related job ad, it's going to specify accounting and finance grads only, economics sometimes. Accounting is the better degree than finance but more people either find that boring and/or harder. It's also the second best bachelors education only degree after any engineering, maybe third after computer science but this isn't an exact science here. You don't have to like it but as long as you can get good grades in it and finish, you'd be in a much better position when job hunting even if you end up doing something completely unrelated. I've never seen any job ad specify they're looking for someone with a management degree because new college grads =/= management material. I'm also 24 (this probably makes me much older than everyone else who replied), have a history degree that lead to 9 months of unemployment, a dozen bad job interviews, and got my job that pays well and has excellent career potential basically by knowing someone and having a piece of paper so this is from experience, not what my guidance counselor told me.
