Actually think that library science or something that combines her sort of “sciency” thinking with her “creative thinking”…art restoration, environmental studies…interdisciplinary areas like that that aren’t hard core science and aren’t hard core arts might fit her and there are tons and tons of possibilities especially if she is at a larger public and not a liberal arts college. I have “one” like that who likes art and science and is equally skilled at both. He has no clue what to do although I’ve pointed out art restoration and a number of other interdisciplinary studies that really intrigued him, fortunately he’s a rising college freshman so he has two years to figure it out. My other is double majoring in English and business to satisfy his love of writing with his more practical bent and because he couldn’t “settle” on one major. Being abit in “love” with everything is not all bad, and she should spend time with her advisor (and the college course catelogue) searching for that combination that will work for her. Many, many adults have BA degrees that have absolutely nothing to do with what we do for careers…I’m one of those. Stumbled into my career…never “planned” my way there.
