Ok. There are a lot of majors related to environmental science - geology, forestry, wildlife management, water management, oceanography, meteorology, etc. Many of these majors will lead to working out in the field in addition to or in place of, routine work in an office. Go online to a few big universities and read course descriptions and major requirements and see if anything excites you.

Bio can be very competitive due to all the premeds, but again there are a lot of possibilities for different tracks and majors.

Psychology could set you up for graduate school if you have an interest in counseling or social work. Related fields that you might not have had a chance to explore in high school include sociology or anthropology, both of which are different takes on how people behave as members of groups as opposed to as individuals. For a more practical major, political science and criminal justice would set you up to use an understanding of human behavior in law, politics, or government. Law school requires a lot of writing, though.

Reading major requirements and course descriptions and “seeing how it sounds” is a decent way to start narrowing down what you might like to study.
