So I'm at orientation right now, and at the beginning my group all went around and told everyone their major. I was the only one who was undecided. Everyone laughed! I felt horrible. I'm going through the course catalog right now down the list of majors, and none of them sound interesting!

It totally frustrates me cause I've kinda always had an idea of what I wanted to be and what I wanted to do and now I'm a loss.

I would like to do journalism, but that seems like a waste of time seeing as how you dont make much money.

Graphic design would also be cool because I'm really good with computers, but not art (which is the majority of the course).

Last night "computer engineer popped into my brain, but when I found it in the catalog it said it wasn't offered as an undergraduate and I can only be here for 4 years.

I'm so stuck.

Could someone help me out? Just suggestions would be nice.

I feel you. I'm still an 'undecided' major. Hopefully by the end of this year, I'll be declaring. Don't know what though.

I too used to have very strong ideas on what I wanted to do and be. When college started, however, I really lost all focus on what I originally wanted, so now I'm back in Stage 1: Figuring out a major.


I am currently working in the Journalism Department at my school. I was talking to many Journalism majors (people who graduated 10+ years ago), and they were all telling me about how Journalism, news media, publications, etc, were all going out...there's not much of a demand for them anymore. If I were you, interested in Journalism, I'd take it as a minor.


The jobs that are going to be in demand in the future, according to what I've read, are those in areas such as Computers, Medical Fields, Teaching (primarily at the college level), and Environmental Science.


If I were suggesting a major to you, it'd be Environmental Science because that's what I'm interested in. But it's all what you're interested in.
