<p>Keely613, you’re 17. Listen to what geo1113 is trying to tell you: being “successful” in your career depends more on what you personally are willing to put into it than it does on your college major. Few people are still working in an area even remotely related to their major 10 or 20 years out. Playing it safe and pursuing a “stable” and “lucrative” major is a sure ticket to a mid-life crisis. Go to school and take classes in all areas. Give it a couple of years and then be honest with yourself–Which classes did you enjoy the most? Which did you find the most engaging? Which ones did you hate? Your answers will tell you more than anything we can say on a message board. You just have to be open to what your gut tries to tell you.</p>
