I Think I May Need A New Major.

Hey everyone. This is my first thread on this forum and I’m sorry if I’m in the wrong place. Anyway, I’m a current undergraduate student and I will have been in college for two years after this semester is over. I am currently majoring in Idustrial Engineering, but lately it seems more and more like maybe I’m in the wrong place. When I started college I had no idea what I wanted to major in and to be honest I still feel that way. I just chose Industrial Engineering to be in something while I was getting the basics done. Well now I’m starting some of the IE classes and I feel out of place. My heart just isn’t in it and I don’t think I can handle all of higher level math. So I’m trying to take a step back and see if I can find a major that matches me better than IE. This is my self-evaluation…I love history, but would like to stay away from a history major because I’ve heard good jobs are hard to find and I don’t think I want to teach. I like to write, read (if the book interests me), computers, keep things organized, applied math, have clear goals to meet, and working alone. I am quiet, private person and do not like speaking in front of a lot of people. I know all this may be vague, but if anyone has any suggestions for a major I would appreciate it.
